Well, actually, I'd argue that having 4 menus instead of everything in Preferences will help people in most cases.

Sure, I agree. But this is a simple change that we can do now to improve things now. Or make things less bad, if you prefer. If there was the new gnome-center shell today, then things would be different for sure. If the only bad thing of this is that it's not the correct long-term solution, we'll probably do the change for the next gnome-menus release.
