Yes, please. I'm also partial to Andy Staines' Admin Drop-Down Menus, myself.

The reduction in clicks necessary to reach sub-menu items is impressive and very necessary, IMHO. I find myself getting infuriated when I have to interact with WP installations sans drop-downs.

Both plugins fail gracefully when JS isn't present as well, IIRC.

Replying to bryan868:

FWIW/FYI: I've added this and Staines' to my Plugin page on Codex and, for future interest, included the one I'm using, from http://extjswordpress.net

Plugin has been updated to 2.5, hopefully making future implementation much easier. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ozh-admin-drop-down-menu/

bryan868, please leave setting the milestone to the core contributors. If you write a persuasive argument, provide a patch, it is more likely to influence, but so far this idea hasn't gained traction -- it seems some love it and some hate the idea.

Oh, additionally, I think there were concerns about support for all browsers.

+1. I'm working on a simple plugin based on 2.7, which could possibly be incorporated - 2.7 is more than half-way there already.

The new crazyhose/hemerage design does not have the top menus and does have one drop down list, but none the less I see this is invalid to the new design. Or as the last post plug in territory.
