 Specifically, preventing them from bastardising the main WordPress Menu.
 Honestly, it's one of the most annoying things of WP at the moment and the
 usability is just awful.

 i.e. Currently (and not this, going forwards.....)

  - Pages
  - Posts
  - Plugins
  - Plugin X
  - Plugin X1
  - Plugin X2
  - Plugin X3
  - Plugin Y
  - Plugin Z
  - etc.

 Add this into some kind of sensible architecture where plugins are
 contextually constrained when it comes to basic navigation.

 The current flexibility of the Admin Navigation is just painful to
 traverse when working across multiple websites, all with their quirky
 needs. It's mental clutter.

 i.e. (Not a suggestion/proposal, but you get the idea.....)

  - Pages
  - Posts
  - Plugins
  - - Plugin X
  - - Plugin X Settings
  - - - Plugin Feature X1
  - - - Plugin Feature X2
  - - - Plugin Feature X3
  - - Plugin Y
  - - - Plugin Y Settings
  - - Plugin Z
  - - - Plugin Z Settings
  - - etc.

 We just need something to help add some kind of standardisation to
 WordPress Core, while giving the flexibility for the open source nature of
 things.

 Interested to hear thoughts on what could be improved.....
