Personally, I'm not sure I see that much value. As I see it, the admin is
intended for technical users, not as a general admin interface for end
users (in this context I'm mostly talking about non-programmers). While it
can and I sometimes do allow end-users to use the admin directly, I really
feel like it's not the intended use.
I'm also not really sure what modifying the URLs would achieve, since users
aren't likely to be typing them in directly, anyway.
