As I understood it, the idea would be for the context menu to be the
only way of accessing most (if not all) operations.  That's quite a
different thing than having context menues.  I'm all for destroying
context menues altogether, but if we have them in one place, I want them
everywhere.

We just shouldn't have to rely on them for basic operations in an
application when no other app does so, or even uses context-menues to
begin with.  This isn't just fixing one app that's missing/misusing
them, it's making an app rely entirely on them.
