Yes, was just going to suggest that. It'd be nice to have the code
split up too, where it can be, if it makes sense.

Sounds perfect. I've seen a lot of users who prefer the "classic"

and menu to classic mode is basically the #1 request ;)

Removing the classic menu entirely would be baaaad idea, despite being
the "easier" :)
