Except that's missing design work too. There's no concept of the "active" window anywhere. There's no visual cue of what the "active" window is. Until that article, the concept didn't exist. It's inconsistent, because the window that you might be working with is no longer the window that "has" the global menu. Imagine that you have 2 windows that don't overlap, and you've focused one by mouse-over. There's now *zero* indication that the global menu isn't related to the focused window. Select a destructive action like File:Revert or Delete is now a very scary and unpredictable concept.
