Comment (by ocean90):

 This gets a big -1 from me.

 > we couldn't create a top level menu to host the new privacy tools
 because we couldn't add new files in a minor releases.

 A top-level menu doesn't need it's own file.

 I don't think that the new tools warrant its own top level menu. What's
 actually the target group for these tools? Is it really that
 [https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/ "80% or more of end users will
 actually appreciate and use"] them? I doubt that when you think about one-
 author blogs.

 Isn't the setting for privacy police/notice page just a … setting? So a
 `wp-admin/options-privacy.php` would fit here which can be put right after
 the Settings > General item.

 As everyone now knows, GDPR is about users, so why not adding the
 export/delete tools to the Users top-level menu?
