Bags and Backpacks to increase carry weight.

So, I started using my non-existant brain when reading this through. I see the addition of back packs as a great way to alleviate one problem of characters not having the required amount of carry weight, thus making a bit less alts. Possibly, there could be no perks that give you carry weight, just back packs that can be crafted. And that's where the problems would start. If the back packs are very easy to get, a question arises, why not just raise the overall carry weight? If the back packs are hard to get, people are less likely to use them as nobody would want to lose something that they spent last hour trying to craft. In my opinion there should be no profession requirement for back pack crafting, in worst case scenario, you should need a bit in OD skill. In my opinion the additional carry weight should be just added and no "containers inside containers inside inventory". Let's not make this unnecessarily complex, shall we?

Similar idea is an internal proposition since some time. But it probably won't happen before scripted GUI rework, so "soon" or later than "soon". If the interface rework would be taking too long (like 2 years) it may be done earlier though. But anyway, until something is really done, nothing is certain, so don't get overexcited.
What is planned is a special "accessory" slot for one extra item giving some passive bonus of special kind. Basically any part of gear that isn't armor or helmet. Could be a backpack giving bonus to CW, or glasses giving bonus to perception, rubber boots allowing you walk on green goo etc. It wouldn't represent any specific part of body, just a kind of extra gear that you don't have to hold in hands all the time and that isn't armor or helmet. At any time you could wear only one (if you have such item). You would have to make a dramatic choice ;) what kind of accessory is best worn in specific circumstances.
Here is a little mock-up of interface window with additional accessory slot:
One type of those accessories would be items giving bonus to CW. Purses, courier bags, military backpacks etc.

This is impressive.
So, the whole inventory in a bag can be dropped with single action, when unequipping the bag from the accessory slot?

Technically speaking, all the carried stuff won't be in the bag, it was supposed to just give bonus to CW. But now, when I think about it, maybe it's not a bad idea to drop everything if you drop the bag directly from the slot. Although I think you should be able to drop all items anyway.
