[wp-testers] 2.5 roadmap... admin design

[Dan Milward]

I already like the static save and publish buttons :-)

I think you're probably right though, the chances are that I will come 
to like it. And if a die hard plugin developer wanted to modify 
something to sit under the static save and publish space... so be it :))

Knowing what the finished product is intended to look like though might 
still prove useful...
