Responding back to @Jannis and @Jerry 's comments back in the 4.1 features voting thread which was closed, as it was directly relevant to the lack of page mgmt functionality I keep raising.
@Jannis said:
I do in some but not all cases. This isn’t a necessity, although I could go either way. One section can either have a top-level page serving as the introduction, or can simple have an introduction page at the top of a section. I’m sure you’re trying to sell me VoltCMS again… ![]()
What would be ‘nice’ here (this is on general site flow, nav, not directly on the page mgmt portion) is not-quite- standard blog behavior, as I still want the menus as much of the content within each section/category is once done, there for people to find who know what they’re looking for, while it would be ‘not terrible’ if newer content added to a section were visible on the ‘category’ main page, e.g. latest content bric after the category introduction text/media (preferably configurable to N last or in time, e.g. Last 3 posts in this section, OR posts within 6 months, for example).
The other gap I have yet to try to sort is what was baked in with Sandbox and others, and semi-typical for blog software, simply a built-in previous and next with title links…but the menu should not change.

Then I’m happy for you, because - it’s not fun and wastes huge amounts of time.
Each section for me, has content added to it over time. Imagine 5 sections, each with ~15 pages each. Even if done sequentially, going back 6 months later and needing to add 2 new pages to each, with Blocs page mgmt, is ‘far from simple or clean’ and you easily wind up with pages in the wrong spots, needing to be moved around in a flat list of . Templates can help a bit I suppose, although I usually have been cloning pages within a section, once I can actually find the right section within > 100 pages of content currently.,
