If menu editing ends up being a major user issue [1], then this will be a
huge bug sink, and a big headache for Luis and everyone involved in that
side of things.

It makes more sense, at this stage, to have a decent implimentation for it
shipping with 2.0.1 than having a fairly borky version shipping in the short
term.

So yes, there is "actually a reason". :-)
