Comment:

 > * Navigation/menus are more closely related to site identity
 (title/tagline) than anything else [...]
 > * If you follow the most logical hierarchy of the order these settings
 would most often appear on the frontend/in the preview [...]

 I disagree. Header and background settings are definitely more related to
 site identity. For example you can have no site title but a header image
 which represents the site title. The same could apply for a background
 image, depends on how the theme has implemented the image, Twenty Fifteen
 is a good example for this.
 Nav menus (and widgets) are site content.


 > * Menus should definitely be before header/background image just based
 on expected frequency of usage as well as general importance.

 Do you have any data for this? Or just personal preference?

 > * Menus should ideally be in a ''different'' spot than the old
 Navigation section was for discover-ability - otherwise users might think
 that we just renamed that old section

 I don't think this is a real issue, navigation and menus are the same. The
 menu customizer is an enhancement for the old navigation section.

 Note: The decision about the current priority was done by @obenland.
