Comment (by nathanrice):

 Oh, and backward compatibility shouldn't be an issue, since the numeric
 positions should easily correspond to a menu section. The real weakness is
 allowing people to position their menus within sections. I understand that
 a CPT doesn't necessarily belong below Comments, for instance. Probably
 not an insurmountable problem, but one worth noting.
