I see your point, this patch comes from the fixies I made in my app and I've clearly missed some use cases, sorry..

I'll investigate more to see how Ember implements `transitionTo` in both `Router` and `Route` (as it's available in both while we have only `Ember.Router#transitionToAnimated` now)
but I would still prefer to have `AnimatedLinkView` being closer to the new `LinkView` implementation.

Do you think this could be a good compromise?

I'll try to do this asap, 
thanks for the feedback!

p.s
I might try to reach you on IM as soon as I'm back from vacation if that's ok :P
