Comment(by mikeschinkel):

 Replying to [comment:6 nacin]:
 > cags: It does allow override in some cases, but not in others. I think
 menu_position for register_post_type ensures no conflict, or maybe it
 ensures no conflict when it is then pushing them onto the $menu array.

 cags?

 Also note that I wrote those to be '''100%''' compatible with the current
 structure.

 They could be added to core and used for 3 or 4 versions down the road and
 at the same time discourage all direct access.

 By about v3.5 we could potentially modify the underlying structure to be
 more rational, deprecate the methods I have related to refresh, and just
 let the really old plugins break.

 Potentially good transition strategy?
