There's no conceptual difference between channels and stored selections. And I am not talking about the red, green, blue color components that happen to be also shown in the dialog labeled Channels. Channel are a stack of masks that are projected on top of the layer stack using the colors associated with them. It happens that you can also use them as a temporary storage for the selection mask. But the actual purpose is to make the channel visible and to use it in the image projection. If we keep channels that are created by saving the selection mask separate from other channels, then we just took away an important way to create a channel. When the user saves the selection to a channel, we don't really know if that is in order to store it for later use as a selection mask or if the user is creating a spot color channel or trying to simulate half-toning.
