well, i was thinking about this on saturday.  there should be a base menu
set that everyone gets, very minimal.  everything else in their menu
should be opt-in, and everything should be able to opt-out.

i should be able to edit my own program menu without having to go through
hoops.  if this wasn't a part of some guideline spec, then the people were
being purposefully lazy, pardon my rant.
