And I agree too. That feature removes natural tree sorting. I cannot put sysfolders where I want them to be! Not good. Stupid machine thinks that it is cleaver than I. I really hate that.

I did. I wanted this both things to be off by default. But programmer's spirit usually wins in combat with end-user spirit, so rest of the team decided to enable these features by default. I am not happy about it but I see and acknowledge the main reason: to present new features to people. That sounds good from programmer's point of view. User may not be prepared to it but he will see that something was done since release of 4.1 ;)

What about this: this feature is enabled only through the update wizard? This was the reason to have it in typo3! :)
