I agree.
Simon, what do you think?

How complicated it will be to re-add it later?
There is no added information in this tab since right now there is not much to report,
everything can easily fit into the columns. But thinking forward you may have other values
and properties.
Just throwing some here not necessary for the near future so don't be alarmed, some
may not/probably won't land in the general tab or the network main tab:
- VM network / Storage / Migration / Management (*PS what is the current indication in
this tab for management networks except for their names?)
- Provider type - like external manager (Plug-in)/internal/etc (not sure it's a main
tab item, but ... )
- Mutually exclusive? Redundancy? other properties.
- Last modified by ___ (It's a property that I would have loved to see on all objects
instead of searching the event log)
- Modification date
- Global SLA Policy (for hierarchical SLA)
I think you got the drift
And let's not forget 'Description' may not fully fit in it's column
I think it's worth to have it now then to add it later when the need compels it. But
not feeling too strongly one way or the other.
