hi, it saves time, if
1) You see sth wrong in some place ,
2) and You have a direct link to edit it in place

so You don't have to waste time to look for appropriate piece of template in admin panel

You could have small (pop-up) links/buttons directly to edit theese layouts (in the recent template set). Probably a small (SMARTY?) hack would be enough.

ps.: and I would like to have template set repository (would be kind of Mambo-modules thing).
