It would really be nice to have the IDs for posts, pages, and 
categories displayed on their respective manage pages again. For 
instance, I was creating a custom theme yesterday using 2.5bleeding, 
and needed to create one specific-category page (needed to be named 
category-#.php), needed exclude/include some pages/categories from 
some calls to wp_list_pages/categories, etc.

In all those cases, I needed to know the ID number for the 
page/category in question, and it was annoying to have to hover my 
mouse over various links in the tables to figure out the IDs. The 
column that used to be there was easier to use.

Just a thought...
