Comment (by sabernhardt):

 I think that moving these links next to "Edit Post" follows a better
 order. Moderating comments and adding or editing posts can be everyday
 tasks, whereas customizing the theme settings or block layout
 //hopefully// is needed less often.

 If a top-level link would move to a sub-menu, that could make people
 wonder where it went. An order change within the same level could still
 confuse some people, though the link would be easier to find again there.
 There have also been problems expanding menus when navigating by keyboard
 or touchscreen.

 The core links could move to position `90`, to keep the pattern of tens
 and to allow plugin-specific links in the middle. Some (but probably not
 all) of the plugin links that would appear before them with their current
 number may make sense there.
 - Smart Slider 3 (position `81`): "Smart Slider" link appears between
 "Edit Post" and the "Edit site"/"Customize" link(s).
 - LearnPress (position `90`): "Edit Lesson" or "Edit Quiz" follows "Edit
 Course" but before the "Edit site"/"Customize" link(s).
 - Analytify (position `90`): The Analytify link comes before "Edit
 site"/"Customize", and follows the "Edit Post" link, so they may wish to
 increase the number if core changes.
