 Replying to [comment:2 filosofo]:
 > That responds to a couple of my points, but not:
 >
 >  * The Updates notifications are under Dashboard [In other words,
 there's the tacit suggestion that this is a nexus of global activity]
 Updates should not appear here in multisite. If it hasn't been removed
 yet, there's a patch somewhere to do it.
 >  * "Dashboard" is a global notion and appears in both modes
 Two separate dashboards, though. So it's not a global notion.
 >  * The Dashboard menu has a link to the meta-site "My Sites" page
 Which is a horrible spot for it :-)
 >  * ''All other admin links appear in the left menu''
 >  * The user's profile link (also in the upper right where the network
 admin link is) is duplicated in the left menu under Users.
 Both fair points, but I would argue that this is unique.
 > In response, I would argue that it is ''more'' consistent:
 >  * all other navigational links appear in the left navigational menu
 >  * Dashboard is global and already has site-management stuff
 It doesn't have site management stuff. It's just a really bad spot for My
 Sites as there isn't really a better spot for it (yet).
