A bit late, but here's the rationale. People didn't look for profiles under users -> configure as it was buried to deep. It is hard to notice that something has popped up that deep when you've just enabled the module. Making it a higher level item is handier to use. Also, IMO setting up profiles does not have a direct relation to the user objects. It's the filling in/editing of a single user's profile itself that I would classify under "users" rather than setting up the fields. I think many admins will think the same.
Yes, I agree -- profile configuration was much too deep. I actually find myself doing way too much "URL hacking" rather than using the admin menus to navigate. A big problem of this is depth, and why (for the admin menu only perhaps) we need to consider some sort of drop down/fold out menu. Actually, I'd love to split the "Admin" tree into a block separate from the Navigation block. -- Boris Mann http://www.bryght.com
