Let me also just say, on the topic of Grapelli: I think Grapelli is a
really great re-skinning of the current admin interface, with a few
IxD improvements. It's really nicely done, and in my opinion is a
significant improvement over what we have now.

But If I ever were to put together a proposal for the design of the
admin interface, I would propose not just changing the visual
aesthetic. I'd propose starting over, from the group-up, and re-
thinking the entire way the admin interface works and how people
interact with it. As Luke said, this would entail a great deal of
backwards-compatibility issues. I have no disillusions about that --
it's why I laughed off the suggestion this could land in 1.2 or 1.3.
If the core developers take is "sorry, we can't do anything that
complex, ever, because we are too concerned about backwards
compatibility," then just say so, and I'll stop worrying about Django
iteself and consider getting a team together to create the admin
interface I want as a standalone app (although I admit, the thought of
going to all that work with no chance of it ever being considered for
core is a depressing one).
