The primary reasons for adding flexibility to the administration interface is to promote a workflow that makes sense. Reordering pages seems like something that should be intimate with the page-related workflow. Yes, another tab is easier, but it may not be the most intuitive solution.
One feature my client needs is a "popup" menu on the "Add Child" button to select a specific page-template before opening the edit interface. That couldn't be done without some way to inject code into the sitemap page. > you need to reorder pages? click on reorder tab and modify the tree as you > want. > you need to manage your galleries? galleries tab will show you only gallery > type pages. > same for page attachments - each page can be expanded to see attached files. > > as for filters - same thing. when you go to page edit you will have a tab > for each filter. > > I understand your concern. It's easy to get a bloated mess, but it should be the responsibility of individual extension designers to make sure their modifications add meaningfully to the interface and don't detract from it.
