Comment (by folletto):

 > I would consider implementing this prior to merge if anyone thinks that
 this work is a blocker for release (I know this is something @folletto was
 thinking about with the way the navigation is displayed as filters)

 I'd consider this as a major blocker, yes. One of the reasons why this
 ticket was moved to "Future Release" was a sub-par experience, in part
 related to what we assumed was a limitation of the API. The design I did
 with the feedback above was trying to work around it. Since I was able to
 do some digging and discovered it wasn't an API limitation (ref:
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37661#comment:145 comment 145]
 above) I think it's very high priority – if we move forward with this
 ticket – to fix the UI in order to address at least some of the issues.

 That said, I think it's important to not put extra work in this unless the
 release leads are ok in moving this forward.
