 > Hide them I think. Not a lot of value in displaying the count for
 something the user can't access.

 While there's nothing wrong with hiding them, I wonder if there will be
 much for low-level users to be able to get a "glance" of.

 At the same time, one could argue there's not a whole lot of value for
 displaying many of these counts to anyone, which is partially why there
 are less numbers just randomly tossed onto the dashboard now.

 Let's remove them for now (and for 3.8.1), to remove the broken links. But
 worth future consideration.

 johnbillion, up for running with this?
