Re: [development] menu alter (was node add)

One caveat - in drupal5 you can only override the callback function. any changes to 'access' will be silently ignored. this form of altering is not supported in d5. it is supported in d6 wth hook_menu_alter()

Right and let draw attention to this: people were doing terrible hacks to alter the menu, now you can easily with hook_menu_alter , one of the sweet features of the new system.
