 Replying to [comment:7 MikeSchinkel]:
 > My primary reason is to make menus less fragile in plugins and themes,
 especially when one is trying to add custom functionality. and the
 secondary reason is to remove unintended consequences for when doing
 things that inadvertently affect menus, albeit a distant second.

 Then it needs a better API, not a (worse) schema.

 > I just wish time was allowed for others to voice their opinions and
 discuss options for potential implementation before deciding this, or
 deciding other things, are not a good idea.  The ''"We know better so
 there's no need for discussion"'' approach can seriously demotivate people
 who want to contribute

 Sure. You catch more flies with honey, I get that. But let's face it,
 moving this to serialized options is a non-starter. It's never gonna
 happen. Keeping this ticket open is not the best use of anyone's time or
 focus. If you want to still comment, feel free. Comments remain open.
