Let's remove this widget. Like Julian says, it's not going to work
with more than about 10 nodes. Also, it's too easy to accidentally
destroy things by inadvertently clicking in one of those selection
boxes and saving. It's a bulk action masquerading as something much
less. If something like this is essential, it could be modelled using
checkboxes, rendered within a div of limited size that grows a
scrollbar when it's too big. That would greatly reduce the effects of
error. However, given the time we have before the upcoming release,
just ditching it would be the best thing to do I think.
