That's right. It's worth noting that I authored the original spec of the
menu hierarchy, and I've been working with Joost to expand it as time goes
by. I haven't made that official yet because there was only 1 thing in it.
If more things come up that belong in an educational menu section, I'll talk
to Joost and we'll probably formalize that location.

We've been handling changes in an informal fashion as described above, but I
agree it's time to move the menu hierarchy into the policy document and
start making it be modified using the same methods as the rest of policy.

Yes Apps/Net badly needs to be split up.
