Stuff that should be removed:

Spell menu (remove everything except for the 'held' menu)
Log menu (remove everything)
remove everything except for the two view options
Queue menu:
remove 'removal queue' (we dont have one afaik)=20
remove 'spell status' (scary that the menu lets you edit that!)
Foreground execute (remove entirely)
Background execute (remove entirely)
sound schemes (does anyone use this or think we need them?)

Looks good (with the sound stuff mentioned in my other e-mail).

Stuff to add:

menu for what spells are 'exiled'
menu for default dependencies

Perhaps a PROVIDES selector? E.g. it'd list GECKO, CVS, etc. and you
can select, say GECKO and it'd list kahazake, firefox, mozilla, etc.
and you may select which one you want as the provider (preferably, if
one is already selected, it'd have a highlight (asterisk?)).

Basically, I'm treating the sorcery menu more like configuration tool
than a control panel. I dont know of anyone who uses the sorcery menu
as a control panel for casting spells or doing updates and stuff.

I almost always use the CLI. Is the CLI in for planned updates as well
(e.g. all options use -- (e.g. sorcery --queue and cast --queue instead
of sorcery queue and cast --queue))?
