While I'm not opposed to the idea, I still fail to see the big win. Just because it provides logical separation or do you have a better reason?
Well... That is a reason enough in it's own right. Currently the menu hook has two concerns, menu placement and routing. While the init could benefit from one place - it is simpler. The logic of what happens later becomes too complicated leading to those annoying bugs/features like Access Denied for custom links in menu, etc...
It is simpler, at least has the potential to be simpler, in my book taht is better. Extra api? if the two apis are easier to understand than the current one I think it is better.
I generally agree. It looks promising but it does have some drawbacks/regressions. It's difficult to weigh/evaluate these right now. We'll have to take this a step further and experiment with it. I'm positive about the outcome. :) -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
