Well, pistons can move rails, right?
Well, why not ladders too? I mean, they both have similarities, especially the icon :S.
This can give great advantages, like a secret piston trapdoor that has ladders going into a secret underground base, a multiplayer puzzle map where you have to pick the combination lever and see if your partner can make it, or something like that.
This probably has little use to the other players, but hey, this is an advantage for some players with a mind full of creativity... and at least this isn't something like "Bringzz some Wizard and Knight NPCs plz" or something like that.

Anyway, I have some pictures, too, just in case you need more information...
You make this: then you pull the lever, and what happens is this: instead of this: Thank you for your time reading this.
That might break some devices that use Pistons to deactivate themselves.
True, but it can also be used a one-way activation redstone device. You know, like, you can open it once only, and the pushed redstone can connect with the other wire.
That sounds like a great puzzle map :S

I agree to a fix to this issue, however a different one. I have a multifloor mining base with ladders connecting the floors, but I would like a block to cover the descending ladder from a particular floor in use, i.e. move the host block together with the ladder. Right now the ladder pops off as soon as the piston pushed or pulls the host block. Such mechanic would make it more convenient to branch out corridors from the ladder passage as there's no need to skip over the ladder every time, as well as a complete orthogonal corridor layout can be made.
I think pistons are broken when they destroy ladders attached to a block, as every placed ladder are actually fixed to it's host block. I find it illogical that the ladder falls off when the host block is moved by a piston. If a ladder is placed on a block it should stay on that block, unless it's being forced of that block in any way (piston, punch, obstruction).
I must however that the piston-ladder mechanic suggested in this thread is also a good fix. I just hope something is done to adjust this quirk in the ladder logic.

And redstone! Redstone too. Yes, pushable redstone.Or a piston that acts as redstone does.I thought ladders were first pushable when pistons were created. To my dismay, they were not. Of course, I support this idea.
