Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 helen]:
 > I strongly believe that with the ever-increasing percentage of sites
 using WordPress and thus users being familiar with the interface, it is
 best for the WordPress admin itself to remain fairly consistent even
 between different installations. I am also disinclined to take on the
 burden of maintaining such hooks now and into the future.

 Perhaps I don't understand as a newcomer to this side of things, but how
 can that be a "burden"?

 For that matter, how is it any harder to maintain than do_action(
 'in_admin_header' );? It allows nearly the same thing, but over the
 sidebar rather than within it.

 If the admin interface needs to remain "consistent" why was theming
 introduced at all?

 What I'm proposing doesn't change the interface; it adds a line of
 branding above it. Which, realistically is necessary and requested by a
 lot of our clients. Again, I've see this requested many a time on
 stackexchange.

 Not adding them basically leaves two options:
 1) Do it manually, having people using modified core files.
 2) Prepend it with jQuery, which; while it works, isn't really the best
 solution.
