Less would be more, if less was expandable. That's the general
WordPress way, to create frameworks and let other people fill in those
gaps.

It's a step backwards in functionality, and yes, I think it is a big
deal. Especially since it seems extremely limited in scope and
non-expandable to boot.

That's exactly what I have been trying to do, and that is why I was
ASKING these questions. I'm pretty sure I said 'Is it even possible to
expand the types of menu items with plugins?" If you don't know these
answers, then why are you responding at all?
