Isn't external just a shortcut to outside the page tree? I've never used 
it, but I wonder why we can't treat it as a shortcut, and have a 
shortcut tab where you can set the target and some options, etc.

Me neither.

What's the point of mount points? Isn't it just a shortcut of sorts...

Features that are never used bloat the interface and make maintainance 
harder. I'd be really interested in how many people have ever used moint 
points, spacer and recycler (and would miss them for other reasons than 
legacy...). Maybe we should make a survey of unused features...
