Comment(by jane):

 We are past feature freeze for 3.0, so anything that hasn't already been
 agreed upon by the lead developers as a task it too late for this version.

 If two people have a differing opinion on what is more usable, the answer
 is to test it with real users. Not with one person's clients, but in
 regular usability testing with a broad range of users. Action links on
 admin screens were  a big part of the testing on 2.5, and the way we
 designed 2.7 (which is what this thread is about, the 2.7 action link
 design) was based purely on that testing. If you would like to suggest
 another round of testing, that would be fine, but saying your opinion of a
 usability "bug" is more valid than the formal testing we did is just as
 aggravating. You assume decisions I promote are based on my opinion, and
 sometimes that's the case, but more often (and in this case) it's based on
 testing.

 And in some cases, a decision may be made not based only on what
 functionality exists today, or through plugins, but based on where we
 think the functionality will be going. If people missed a discussion or
 background on a decision (no one is involved in every single discussion in
 IRC, wpdevel, forums, hackers, ui group, etc) and think a decision the
 lead team has made is bad, if the person would ask why a decision had been
 made before complaining about it and saying it is ill-considered, maybe we
 could avoid some of this contention.
