I'd like to merge some of the server pages, so that we have a smaller menu and less links ending up in the 'More' tab.
What I have done already is put the processes table into the status page as it fits very well into the server traffic (jquery-)tab. And secondly I would merge together Engines, Charsets, Replication and Variables into a (jquery-)tab-separated page named "Configuration"
Since an average user rarely requires the information supplied on those pages I think it is a good idea to free up the space in the menu bar. Any objections on this? :)
All links fit with 1440px wide screens (unless you are root and see all tabs, then you need 1600px). I think moving all these tabs deeper into navigation structure is pointless.
While Processes can go there (they are related to server's current, live status), Variables, Engines and Charsets are about global configuration and don't change during server's operation. I think they should stay where they are now.
