Days ago it was discussed on IRC that this interface changes produce
re-learning needs for people. I think the idea made it to the mailing
list too.

My opinion is that if control-center wants to get a new cool shell
it's ok , but the menus should be still there for consistency with
older versions (being such a big change on the UI).

Give me back my menus :'(.
