Annoying Mac OS X features

I'm not really a fan of certain Finder components. For one, if you attached an external hard drive and create a alias on the side bar and turn off the item, the aliases automatically disappear! I hope the Apple fixes this in the next release of OS X "Snow Leopard" I can see if the aliases turn into a big ? question mark and if the external drive is reconnected, Finder should automatically restore the hard drive icon or alias.
