Dinnerbone, merely making hoppers conductive would fix this. After all, they can somehow allow redstone to float on top of the hole. You say there is nothing to fix. Well, this compromises the most simple of sorting machines and forces minecrafters to use pistons ans minecarts. I don't know what you intend the hopper be used for, but if it is locked, it should be completely locked, not only partially. hogwash.
