Which wouldn't be of any help if someone has to handle some hundreds of
pages - right?
I am thinking about a website which has 5 Levels...

 Foo
---- Bar
-------- Baz
----------- Biz
--------------- Buz

That eats some pixels... (yep I know deep nav structures aren't good, but 5
Levels are not soo uncommon, when it comes to larger sites, remember, Andrew
spoke about 500-600, or several thousands of pages... while I wouldn't
manage such deep and large sites with WordPress anyway - for such sites
TYPO3 is a good choice)

Thats just why I said this should be a plugin and not something handled by
core - the needs are such different that one can not fit them all. And to
come back to that Bikeshed:
If you need to put it in core everyone is buzzing around to get his idea
into it. When you're working on a plugin everyone can write there own to fit
there needs if yours doesn't do that.

I would publish it as plugin anyway, since I don't belive in putting this in
core. I would be honored by any adoption into core, of course, but I don't
belive it would be good. Better to have 10 different approaches
with 10 different plugins to fit all needs than to have one core approach
which can not fit all needs.
