ote no on this being removed. Drupal desperately needs a control panel page rather than a block adminstration list. This module suits that purpose. It just needs to be developed.
Its very much debateable if we actually really want an admin-panel. I for one do not want this at all. There are much cleaner *and modular* methods available.
This is a contentious issue as Ber hints at here. Newcomers may not know that once upon a time (4.3?) there was a separate "control panel" or admin side to Drupal sites; clearly the "combine them all into the public UI" side won that debate. Perhaps a suitable solution could be setting a CSS id attribute ('is_admin'?) to be used in the HTML body tag so that those who want to could format admin pages differently? Or some other sort of CSS flag? I personally find having to squeeze/use all the admin forms and layouts within the public site layout troublesome, but maybe this would be a solution to allow both usages? I imagine the difficulty occurs in deciding which actions are "admin" actions or just user or contributor actions. Probably somewhat ambiguous.
