Hi Jono,

Yes, it has been discussed on the mailing list already. People really like
the idea. :)

Actually, the person who made that mockup (David I believe) made several.
I personally much prefer this one: http://unity.exemo.net/3/
<http://unity.exemo.net/3/>No flipping action, just a graceful slide-in. It
feels much more natural to me that way, also because it's a less jarring
change (the only animation involved is sliding-in).
