That doesn't seem to be clear, at the moment.

The hierarchical menu is superior to the HUD for getting an overview of 
available commands. It can be useful, even if a user can't think of an 
appropriate term to look for.

Aside of that, the menu structure is still the data source for the HUD. 
Applications may have commands that do not make sense outside of the 
hierarchy. For example, Inkspace has "Set" and "Release" 2 times, in 
"Object"->"Clip" and "Object"->"Mask".
