Comment (by barryceelen):

 @karmatosed the initial premise for this ticket was to enable developers
 to filter which meta boxes are shown in the navigation menu admin page (by
 default only a core set are visible). I proposed to remove that
 functionality completely, and show all registered meta boxes because I
 think the original reason to hide them became moot with the current admin
 layout (See: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16828#comment:7)

 These screenshots illustrating the old and new situation are still
 available here:
