no taxonomy support for drag-and-drop admin of free tagging vocabularies?

I have a free-tagging vocabulary but can only get table drag hierarchy ability on admin/content/taxonomy/ [[vocab-id]] when the checkbox for "tags" is checked in the settings fieldset of admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/ [[vocab-id]]

Is this by design?

It seems to me to be a nonsensical restriction. Isn't it mostly a matter of recognizing and changing the parent nids in the term_hierarchy table? Why should free-tagging affect that?

Does anyone have a patch for it? Otherwise I'll write one. I need to be able to easily manipulate taxonomy terms for a free-tagging vocabulary.

Thanks in advance

Here's the patch

Here's a patch - seems to work fine. Dunno how it will handle a large vocabulary, though. ( Will taxonomy_get_tree() fail? ) Also see my blog post
