 edit by dd32:

 The posts page only contains metaboxes for flat taxonomiese (non-
 hierarchical ones). It should also support custom taxonomies which are
 parent-child(hierarchical).

 original desc from nicomollet:

 WP2.8 new taxonomy features make us create new taxonomies. Example in
 [http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/05/06/custom-taxonomies-in-
 wordpress-28]

 You can make new taxonomy tags "Animals" with this simple line of code :
 {{{
 register_taxonomy( 'animals', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => false,
 'label' => 'Animals' ) );
 }}}

 But it seems possible to create new taxonomy categories, like "Rating" (G,
 PG, PG-13, R, NC-17) with :

 {{{
 register_taxonomy( 'rating', 'post', array('hierarchical' => true,
 'label' => 'Rating') );
 }}}

 This last line of code does nothing at all. It is supposed to work ? Maybe
 it needs to be implemented.
 Thanx

 > Any chance of this making it into 2.9?

 I'm working on something like that, but no guarantee's if it'll make it
 into any version.. Is anyone else even attempting that?
