I'm a little surprised this hasn't come up for inclusion earlier.  When
showing a site to some top-management folk in a previous life, the question
that came up most often was "can we organize those links on the side so that
blablabla is first?".  One person would ask it, I'd respond with the "hmmm,
not easily - at least, not in time for our deployment date".  Then the next
person would come in late to the meeting, ask the same question, we'd laugh
and tell them the scenario - "to make admin easy, it's just listing the
documents in that folder that are public, using the API's already
available!".  They'd go OK.  The tour continued.  Another straggler comes
in, the loop repeated itself...  :).

For "add-to-the-core" functionality, I'll vote +0.5.  I wouldn't mind seeing
it in the core, but I also like the idea someone mentioned of a sort of
"expansion pack" of other good products that was well maintained alongside
each core release.
