It's actually less work than you'd think, and I've offered to do it
myself. It is just manually selecting the files and building zip files -
not hard, and can be done in a couple of hours. It can be done after the
Preview is out (we'll just add some links to the files later).
Removing the Test and Experimental menus would be a little bit more
work. Ideally the Experimental menu appeared automatically if there are
any plugins.
Just an FYI, a possible way to implement this is to have the module that
provides menus expose APIs like 'getTestMenu(view)' and
'getExperimentalMenu(view)', and have them either return the existing menu
item or create it and return it. Then, plugins which add menu items to
those menus need only use the return value as the parent, and the menus
will only be created if they are used by some plugin.
