Totally agree. For the lazy sods on the list, you hack on the main UI 
via plugin in two steps:
- first, output the controls you want to add
- second, output some javascript code to position the control where you 
need it, e.g. to put a control just before the "Save" row of buttons:
buttonrow = document.getElementById("save").parentNode;
buttonrow.insertBefore(newControlElement, someButtonAlreadyThere);

These two scripts must be hooked to admin_footer. Done it on my Version 
Control plugin, it works great.
