  To me, this suggests that we might want to badge the icon itself or something, because this is generally useful information, and also has security implications (you don't want executable programs masquerading unseen as regular files).

  Heh, it's not that your opinion doesn't count, but rather that we trust skilled people with specialized needs to optimize their own workspaces as needed. We optimize general-purpose tools for the common case, not the specialized case.
  
  "Simple by default... yadda yadda yadda". In this case, it seems that the "powerful when needed" part of customizing the Information Panel's display was too well hidden, and we can and should improve that (in another patch, obviously).
