Comment (by folletto):

 > 1. If your old theme only has one menu and your new theme only has one
 menu, just map them automatically
 > 2. If your old theme and new theme share a similar IDs or names, map
 them automatically
 > 3. If your old theme has more than one menu, or your new theme has more
 than one menu, map the menu in the first menu location in your old theme
 to the first menu location in the new theme.

 This sounds accurate to me.


 > I don't hate the name, I hate the entire concept. It brings an extra
 layer of complexity that stumps pretty much every new user I've ever seen
 work with WordPress, both in person and via user testing.

 Same. I think it's clear why it happened that way, but it's incredibly
 confusing for users.
