Sure, but...

I still object heavily. Just because it's like that in other apps, doesn't 
mean we have to follow that as well. I mean seriously - it's called _Context 
Menu_ for a reason...

The context there is - IMO - _the_ central widget for project management. And 
having it in the context menu there is far better than showing no context menu 
at all in the view! As David said, having such an action in the toolview's 
toolbar would make huge sense!
