 > Re-ordering the $menu array is not going to be easy — I could absolutely
 envision a plugin doing `unset( $menu[15] )` to get rid of Links, which
 would now get rid of Media. We didn't have remove_menu_page() and
 remove_submenu_page() until only a few versions ago. Unless we can come up
 with something surgical, this will probably necessitate doing quite a bit
 of changes to the "$menu" "API".

 Right, this example has backward compatibility issues. We will have same
 issue without re-ordering other menus and only changing Pages menu order
 e.g `$menu[6]`, if plugins are removing Pages with `unset( $menu[20 )`.
 (which I think would be much rare case that with Links).

 Anyway more backward compatible option would be great.
