Comment:

 Options pages should be where users expect it. A plugin that changes the
 appearance adds its menu to Appearance, and one for comments to Comments.

 I think, asking plugin authors to create an overly long settings menu will
 not really help, and it would result in a bad UI. Nobody wants to tab
 through 20 items.

 It should be easier to relocate settings pages. Akismet for example puts
 its comment page under Dashboard, not Comments – I would really like a
 simple way to fix that.
