Comment:

 I think this should be re-opened as a bug.  If one is happy to use the
 page structure as one's menu, then one should have the option of a default
 menu based on the page structure.   Currently twenty-seventeen creates
 additional unnecessary work. After creating pages, one still has to go
 create the menu structure.

 While one can specify that pages should be automatically added to the menu
 one had to manually create, they are not added based on the page
 structure. So one has to continually visit the menu editor as well as the
 page editor.   This feels painful and a backward step.

 While I understand allowing for the option of no menu, surely it is
 equally important to allow for the original 'just use the page structure
 as menu' option?     Arguably perhaps this is a menu customiser feature
 that the themes should then implement.
