Why "Tools"? because some other applications have Tools->Add-ons menu item? But if so, then (a) not all of them do that (some have it in "Options"), and (b) the proposed menu items are nowhere near "Add-ons", so if someone wanted to alert newbies to something they are maybe used to, I very much doubt that "Manage Emacs Packages" will do. IOW, if this intends to make additional packages more easily detectable, let's find a better name for this menu item, because what's being suggested here is more a turn-off than a feature promoting Emacs. Or maybe I'm missing something.
