 Replying to [comment:18 obenland]:

 > There is a possibility that sites with menu items that were created
 between 3.0 and 3.1 have those old descriptions show up, when they switch
 to a theme that has `show_descriptions` enabled.

 This happened on my site last week when I updated the site's active theme
 to use menu descriptions in the same manner that they are handled in
 Twenty Fifteen. I really wish I had recorded what happened, but a very
 large post content dump was output for the menu description on an old menu
 that I had created a while back. I had to manually erase them and enter
 new descriptions.

 Other than the above issue I am generally in large favor of this proposal.
 If the description field is available we should be able to make use of it
 in themes.
