Description

After being a key part of the Wordpress experience for the last 3 years+ the WordPress Pressit bookmarklet function has disappeared from WP 2.5 Agreed, it shouldn't be at the bottom of every write page window- however, it should be in user options interface. Not having this in the base install is a pain for those of us who live by it- and have to use a workaround to make a bookmark. I'm thinking of authoring a plugin to restore this functionality- however, that seems like a bad move when "code is poetry"

This has been slated for inclusion in 2.6, IIRC.

Can't seem to find Matt's message on wp-hackers, but it's being "redesigned" and shall be stronger, faster, better.

Why wait for 2.6 and why take out a function that some consider essential? It works for people who had previous installs- you are causing major headaches for new users who want this functionality.

For reference, The PressIT code from previous versions will work seemlessly.
