Since the default folder context menu in Nautilus already has more than 
the HIG recommended maximum number of items, and this feature is not 
something that is useful in the "common case", I request the extra 
context menu item (I think you meant to say item?) is disabled by 
default.

If something like a "sysadmin mode" is going to be added to Nautilus, I 
propose that we evaluate the possible scenarios and use cases first, and 
build an UI upon that. Simply adding YACMI [1] is contrary to the GNOME 
design principles.
