So the menu system should know if an application was explicitely
selected by the user during installation or it was pulled in due to some
strange dependency? And in the latter case, the menu system should know
that the user _wanted_ the application to be installed regardless (and
therefore he/she expects to see a menu entry by default)?

IMHO the best would be a uniof of the two viewpoints: show everything by
default, and gradually hide entries that were not used for some time. Or
did Microsoft patent that?
