Branko, Again, thanks for all your efforts improving the Admin interface. Your points are well taken, and I don't think anyone expects that all of this feedback will be incorporated immediately (or even ever). We've already made some very nice improvements over the old Admin, so anything further is just icing on the cake.
Note, because we don't really have any structured process in place, I think the tendency is to just chime in with any seemingly relevant feedback while the topic is hot (i.e., while there's an active thread going on the list) -- there will be no cue to do so, say, a week or a month from now after something is released. I suppose this could change, but we'd have to be more deliberate about it.
