Well, your patch is committed, and it is still very inconsistent.

I don't think it's intentional actually. IIRC the "classic" items always
left to the WPS. At some point some items where replaced with the ones
that are used in the normal menus too (so the WPS context menus doesn't
duplicate the code), but these don't leave to the WPS directly (the IMO
preferred behavior).

Same here. I would rather to have all menus act so that pressing left
means going back 1 level, not completely to the WPS.
