hook_menu() was a bad place for them in the first place anyway.  They should 
be called selectively when needed so as to not cause needless calls to CSS 
files that don't get used.  We don't need another hook for that, we need to 
just move the drupal_add_css() calls.  See:

I am willing to take care of moving the calls for other core modules if 
there's buy-in to actually commit them, but I don't want to create still more 
issues that will get left to rot until the second issue above is committed.

himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
