 Replying to [comment:2 nerrad]:
 > I don't think restrict_manage_posts is in the wrong place.  My
 understanding is that it's purpose is for adding hook for filtering by
 type should a plugin author create a new post type.  Therefore you'd want
 restrict_manage_posts to be where it is for adding in the same line as the
 other post-type filter options.

 in a new form-field for filtering by a new post-taxonomy in the indicated
 location.  It'd be nice to have the option of the two possible locations
 for insertion rather than just one (due to the new ui layout)

 restrict_manage_post is in the wrong place - trust me I invented it ;-)

 Unfortunately because of the design of the new admin ui where the whole
 list is inside the form we can't let plugins add there own form.

 I think we need to move restrict_manage_post inside the form back where it
 should be rather than add another hook - and make sure to notify plugin
 authors that it has changed slightly.
