Variable customization is not a good > candidate for a menu item. My motivation while pushing for a change here is to make it easier for users to customize package-archives, something I've seen asked very often. If an item pointing to the variable customization is too "direct", then I suggest to move the item "Find extra packages" from the Help menu to this new "Install Add-On Packages" menu. (If we go that way, then we should probably also move the "Search built-in packages" item.) -- Bastien
