I gotta sound off on this one.  I am completely for the old style script
management.  It worked, and worked well.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'm pretty sure previously you could edit a script, and not lose the 
includes and excludes that you had added via the script manager.

until people install updates to existing scripts, which could be weeks 
or months down the road.
