[wp-hackers] How can I filter on post count for categories?

[Mike Schinkel]

Olivier:

While I haven't drilled down yet to do this I think custom post types  
could be a really important addition to WP either as a plugin or  
better yet to core. As there are so many assumptions in WordPress that  
assume "post" that doing as a plugin will be an uphill battle which is  
why it would really need to be in core.  If not in core too many other  
plugins won't support the notion of custom post types.

I have a plugin I'm using for custom URLs that would fits well with  
custom post types. It's not yet ready to be released because it  
doesn't yet have an admin console interface and also because it still  
has a lot of areas where it is not robust but I have been using it  
with the More Fields plugin which gives kind of a psuedo-custom post  
types capability.

Anyway, the reason I email is to ask why not use More Fields because  
it works albeit not using wp_posts->post_type but instead wp_postmeta- 
 >option_name="mf_post_type", and also to see how many other people  
are interested in a custom post types in core?
