As per conversation with merlin on IRC:

What's wrong with Panels is that Panels has code to hide all blocks provided by Views in favor of the content panes display type. It was never adjusted to *stop* hiding the exposed filter blocks. So that's all that needs to be adjusted.

Though going a step further and doing them as true content types would be better
Because then you can take advantage of URL overriding and such, to force the filter block to stay within the panel.

So this is an issue for that. All the other issues against Panels 3 for the exposed filter block should be flagged as duplicates of this.

Also this completely deprecates the Views Filter Block module for Drupal 6: #440454: "Exposed Form in Block" views setting replaces this module for 6.x.

The second & third paragraph are a quote from merlin, I just wasn't able to format it properly.

What's odd is that they've always been available. I'm not sure why I thought they weren't.

Wait...where are they on the list? I had looked for them and didn't find them.

They're in the 'Views' category.

I intend to expand the blocks system to be able to transfer data from the block array to the pane array so that it can inherit things like categories and names when using content pane displays.
