Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 > Categories & Tags, and even custom taxonomies, are accessible from each
 section, as opposed to having a permanent presence in the sidebar.

 What does this mean in practice? And how will things work for custom sites
 that have far more than just the categories and tags menus inside a CPT
 menu.

 > Where's the "Add New" menu item?
 > One idea would be to make this permanently visible in the top toolbar.

 Worth noting that we do have this today in the "+ New" admin bar, though I
 rarely see users actually use it (  anecdata ).

 I'm also curious what this looks like with a lot of plugins on a site. In
 my experience, the stock WP install's menu isn't very overwhelming, but
 once you get a few plugins going that add their own menu items it starts
 getting quite complex. Plugins do a lot ( the need for their own menus and
 submenus is real ). But is there a way that this could be done better?
