IMHO the purpose of both of them is different. In particular I don't see 
any equivalent to the Places menu in there (at least from the screenshot 
I got from google).

I'm fine with including it (actually I don't care at all) but I'm 
against using it to replace the current three menu applet, mostly 
because I wouldn't use such a menu for myself: it's way worse than the 
current one when you know what you are going to do (looks like you have 
to move your mouse much more; note that my main use of the current 
applet is though the places menu)

BTW I think ubuntu is writing something similar, but I don't recall the 
name.
