I agree that it doesn't make much sense to have the concept of "sessions" implemented in the project explorer.
That creates unnecessary dependencies also at other points, e.g. bookmarks are dependent on the project explorer because of that.
It would be better if sessions were a core concept and the project explorer would just be another "client" for that concept.
