 A Humble Request

 I almost hate to bug everyone with something so small, but it's
 something that has begun to take up a fair amount of time.


 On the "Edit Page" interface, underneath the "Page Order" field is
 text that states "(We know this is a little janky, it'll be better in
 future releases.)"


 While I appreciate the acknowledgment of the jankiness and it never
 bothered
 me working with WP on my personal sites, I now regularly set up Wordpress
 sites for clients, many of whom I have talked into migrating from another
 CMS.  The Order interface is in fact a little janky but it's also quite
 functional, and to a client who is new to Wordpress it's a bit of a turn
 off.


 I wouldn't mention it if I hadn't had to defend it to clients a couple of
 times, to the point where I have begun suppressing it for new client
 sites I
 roll out.


 It occurs to me that I'm probably not the only one with this issue, and
 that
 removing the text in the core would a) not have any functional impact
 whatsoever and b) would aid in the shift from thinking of Wordpress as a
 blogging platform to thinking of it as the world class CMS that it's
 rapidly
 becoming.


 Obviously, a nicer interface for ordering pages would be nice too but
 given
 the number of awesome plugins for page management out there, not a
 priority.


 I have been playing with the 2.9 beta (loving the image editor guys!) and
 hope this suggestion comes at a point where it might be acted on.


 Thanks!
