Yes, please. This seems to be one of the fundamental objections to the
current menu system, and we *have* a Menu Policy already where this sort
of thing could be addressed. And if we're going to replace menu with
.desktop files, we're *still* going to need a policy that addresses this.
It's all very fine and good to say that there's stuff with menu entries
that shouldn't have them, but nothing will change until someone writes a
clear policy on what should be included and what shouldn't that we can all
agree to.
