Processes could go to the status page, but this would have to be well
communicated. I think this page is used quite often, so moving it to
another tab will cause confusion.

IMO, the Variables, Engines and Charsets page are used less
frequently, at least I don't check them that much.
I think they make a better candidate to be grouped together in a
'Configuration' (or another name) tab, to make room in the tab bar.

Replication doesn't belong in this group and should still be available
as a separate tab.

Kind regards,

Dieter
