 In 2.3x, there was a logical division between the post's content (things
 you type on the left) and its meta data (things you select on the right).
 In 2.5, categories and tags -- things that authors have to touch on every
 post -- have moved into the content section and are more difficult to
 access because of the excessive scrolling required.

 Since there's plenty of whitespace to the right of the textarea, we
 propose moving categories and tags back to the sidebar.

 See [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/164414 this forum thread] for more
 details. The attached patch comes from ericr23's modification of edit-
 form-advanced.php, linked on p2 of that discussion.
