I don't understand what that means. If there is an issue with that
menu, then it would apply to any item put in it, and there has been no
issue adding "Applications" and "Files & Folders" to it, so why not
"Settings" as another entry?

Again, that argument doesn't apply to any other item in the left hand menu?

Ok, it's just that from some of the above comments, it didn't sound
like there was a roadmap for this which was known among at least some
of the developers. It sounded more like this was introduced as a
stop-gap, pending further discussion at some future UDS with a
retrospective update made to the relevant specification to justify the
change.
