This document has been extracted and separated from the
<span class="emphasis"><em>Menu</em></span> package to:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol class="orderedlist" type="1">
<li class="listitem">
<p>
Increase the visibility of the Menu sub policy
</p>
</li>
<li class="listitem">
<p>
Reduce the coupling between policy and implementation. If this
separation is not made, every time we want to change menu
policy, we have to arrange to get the maintainer to release a
new version of the package, even if the package has not
otherwise changed. It also involves yet another layer, making
the policy changes that much harder to implement.
