With the new components page you can now set the Mandatory and Weight fields without having to leave the Form Components page, for simplicity it would be nice if you weren't confronted with these fields again on the full edit page.

You might argue that it would be convenient to leave the fields where they are, however I think the user would feel more at ease if they didn't have to look at so many fields on the edit page.

This patch simply hides the Mandatory and Weight fields on the individual component edit forms. Please review.

I'd like to not remove these fields, but instead put them in a fieldset. It's still helpful to have these options on the component edit form directly, and it'll match the approach taken by Drupal 6 in places where weight has now been replaced by drag and drop.

A collapsed fieldset would suffice, I wonder if anything else could be moved in there...

This seems like it was done a while ago.
