Allright. Sorry for my too strong language.

Anyway. I feel that we must go for a proper solution. Just putting /admin to 
an admin theme is a half arsed attempt. 
Adding /node/*/edit is even a haf arseder attempt, for alll the forum 
implementation (edit your own site) handbook systems (edit your own handbook) 
will break. 

Why i used suc strong language is that wqe must think this over better. Not go 
for a solution that will help a few ppl. But leaves all the others on the 
cold.
PLease, I beg alll people to think about the implication of such a choice.
