I've already put my hand up to help out. Ideally as many comitters as
possible say they are either in principle backing the committe and
waiting for the results, against the whole notion of this change, or
abstain completly (including the final vote).

This is going to be alot of work for those who get involved and
knowing what sort of opposition there is going to be from the start is
important.

It would also be good to get people who want to be activly invovled to
put your hands up soon (i.e before the weekend) because we'd like to
have this done for the next release feature freeze which is currently
set for oct 17.

Just on that last paragraph. Te vote should be a simple yes/no, with
no veto-ing possible (unlike RFC-type posts which are expected for
normal features).

This is going to be alot of work., and we want as many people to be *
actively involved* as possible, but we dont want people who dont have
an open mind, or only want to do little changes.

So, If you want in let us know. If you feel there is nothing wrong
with the menus then that is fine, but please stay out of our way.
