I saw that. Wow. Maybe modes should be limited in the number of menu slots they use...

Re. VC vs dired, I guess VC would not be in the top menu when Emacs is in Dired mode (is there a used for vc-ing a directory buffer ?)

And really, Dired should use a master menu item and put all it's stuff there. Here is for the "discoverability" proponents ;)
