The Finder Label approach requires a lot of custom UI, which is not  
that easy to implement and pollutes the interface more. And UI  
pollution was really one of the main problems I had with the feature,  
because I want to reduce that as much as possible (BD already has far  
too much of it).

And no, you're certainly not the only one. We've had this request  
before.
