 > * Moves user menu back to the far left
 +1 for having it on the left, though I like how the W menu is small in
 trunk. Do we need to have "Howdy, username" in the menu? I know we've
 traditionally had "Howdy" somewhere in there to add some humanity, and
 trust me, I love it as much as the next user, but seems to make that first
 menu item a lot wider than it needs to be. Why are we moving away from the
 format we had it in 3.2?

 "[gravatar] username"

 seems cleaner than

 "Howdy, username [gravatar]"

 I think even

 "[gravatar] Howdy, username"

 would be better than having the gravatar in the middle

 > * Darkens the blue hover color, as it was near impossible to see before
 +1 I didn't even realize there was a rollover.
