 > I noticed how the admin menus are organized that way long time ago. I'm
 just curious about why that structure is chosen and what are the benefits.
 Could you give me a hint?

 Backwards compatibility. We have an API function for removing menus now,
 so maybe once that has soaked a bit, we can start deprecating direct
 access hacks and space out the default menus a bunch more so there is a
 lot more space between each of them.
