>>>"Displays" is a shortcut to a panel in the system settings

"Printers" is also a shortcut to a panel in the system settings.

>>>while "Printers" and (for me) "Webcam" in the middle section launch software to utilize those things.

 clicking "Displays" also launches software to utilize displays.

Displays, Printers, and Webcams are all "Attached Devices". So I don't see how the current demarcation makes any sense.

"System Settings" denotes the System as a whole. Hence, it seems logical to me to also provide the info: Is the system up to date?

"Displays" is a shortcut to a panel in the system settings while "Printers" and (for me) "Webcam" in the middle section launch software to utilize those things. This sort of categorization breaks down when considering why "Software Up-to-Date" (Which really irks me that that is still not hyphenated) is with those other items. This would be made worse if we take out the one other non-control panel item. 

We want to try to keep like items with like items. So "Displays" should remain in the top section.

Guys, what about slightly rearranging the order of the power-cog entries?

Can I file a bug for this? Do I have agreement?

This arrangement would seem more logical to me:


_______________________
System Settings
Software Up To Date
_______________________
Displays
Attached Devices
Printers
_______________________
Lock Screen
Log Out
Suspend
Shut Down
