I tend to disagree. As seen on many instruction meetings, editors / 
admins always were groaning when they first saw the BE. I don't want to 
overload it more for new users. I also think: If 80% of the users don't 
use it, we should have it as a "Enable search box in page tree" option.

Yep. completely agreed. Unfortunately I don't have time for this before 
4.2 since there is tons of other work in the BE that needs more 
attention than a search field for the page tree. Means: If no other 
raises his hand right now, it will be left half-baken until then. 
(Especially your point "b").

OK. So here is what I think:
We should remove it completely for now (from the source control as well, 
we still have it existing) and re-introduce it with 4.3 again. One of my 
big plans for 4.3 is the re-birth of the user task center so it's quite 
usable. Also, work for the pagetree never ends ;-) so I think we could 
work on this for 4.3.
Same problem is the topapps sysext that is shipped with every 
installation but half-baked and not installed by default. Either one 
decides to work on it and wants to finish one or I think we should move 
it to TER.

Just my two cents... also, Kasper, it's not against you, I'm just 
concerned about have a clean and good BE interface...
