Comment(by GuruXL):

 Replying to [comment:5 hakre]:
 > I would tend to say that this is plugin domain (first) because currently
 we do not have a flag that prevents a post being used within the
 navigation. Since navigation is frontend, this is normally handeled within
 the theme. So this is either plugin or theme firsthand.

 > Pages aren't listed within navigation when they are not published so I
 actually do not see a bummer here either.

 @hakre, I disagree only because, when you are talking about Posts, they
 are the default purpose of Wordpress. Pages are an addition and if you are
 normal generating a page, it would make sense that you should be able to
 exclude a page, just as if you are defining the "slug" and "title", those
 are all default CMS options that would be accessible if you were creating
 a "dynamic" or "static" page.

 If it was a plugin, it would have to be a default plugin included with
 every successive version and be turned on by default.

 The whole point remember is not having to go to edit
 wp_list_page(exclude=2,5,17,19,199,433,477,555,1234,1345,2333,5432,7778,7789,99999,999999),
 how cumbersome is a system where you have to go into the
 Appearance->Editor to add a new page_id to each page you want to exclude?
 What if I wanted to exclude 50 pages? Wouldn't it be easier to have a
 checkbox available when I first create the page and exclude it
 automatically? Makes sense to me.
