 > Everyone is debating fine points of design. The admin bar redux as it
 was committed was *not done*. Koop and I needed it be in trunk as much as
 we had finished before moving on te pointers and other new features to get
 the basic functionality in so we could test it at WC Portland this past
 weekend, which I did. We will be coming back through this week on all the
 stuff we added or almost added to get it closer to being "this is what we
 think it should be like."

 Maybe I'm misreading this, but it seems like you saying no one should be
 discussing/adding patches for this ticket because you're not done with
 implementing it. I get that it's a work in progress, but there's no use
 going down the wrong path and wasting time if other people have valid
 points to consider and patches to submit. Koop invited the community to
 get the ball rolling, so that's what they did.


 > I don't think we'll move the user menu back to the far left. Something
 to bear in mind is that a lot of comments here are comparing this to the
 previous iteration of the admin bar, but you should be comparing it to the
 previous header instead. It's not a new admin bar, it's a combination of
 header and admin bar. Every single install had a header before, while far
 fewer had the admin bar turned on, especially in wp-admin.

 Again, maybe I'm misreading this, but it seems shortsighted to completely
 disregard the admin bar like it never existed. It did, and it was helpful.
 At this point, the functionality of the new header is far more like the
 old admin bar. The fact that it's going to have navigation in it means
 that we really need to think about how that interaction goes. I understand
 that it's still in early development, but that's a great time to have
 these discussions.
