Well, not (in the short term) yours, and there's no reason it should be. Change is always a usability issue. If you're used to one thing, then of course it seems odd to change it - but on the whole, these changes seem to make the initial learning curve smoother for newcomers and make it easier to expand without overcluttering things. But I'm amazed that there are people on this list who are unaware that this is happening! My main interest in joining this list was to get the locations of the work-in-progress so I could see the new backend and see how it fits into various plans. I'm sure that the developers of any plugins that depend on the exact arrangement of the backend are following developments. I read a couple of WP-related feeds, but I didn't consider myself an expert with secret knowledge. Whilst I know the specifics hadn't been released, how exactly is it that people like Kirk are unaware of what is scheduled to be in the next release of WordPress?
