Because I didn't write it and I'm not going to spend a lot of time reorganizing working code without a good reason? :)
I'm also not convinced that consolidation with 'e' would do much to help things -- most of the code for the 'a' case is to handle actually going past the kernel and just displaying the arguments for editing as opposed to showing the whole line. The shared code is largely allocating the new_heap and finding the config entry, but similar bits are already duplicated in most of the cases of run_menu() just due to the slight variations needed for each one.
