I don’t think it would necessarily be bad, but probably not something I would use much since their label system is already pretty fast.

Filters are a really good idea for Google Reader, and it would help tremendously for finding the information you care the most about. I’d have to guess that because of the insane number of feeds some people subscribe to, however, it would be extremely processor intensive and not something they have the power for right now.

I won't really use the Recommendation's now available for Google Reader since it is so limited. But I sure will use the heck out of the Drag-n-Drop functionality that has been sorely missing from this application.
