My patches do not _preclude_ re-adding them to the menubar. But since we can not possibly add _all_ options to the menu bar (to avoid people ever having to use Custom), it would seem that the most important criteria for adding an option to the menubar are that it either should be something that many users would want to set straight when they begin using Emacs, before having read any documentation (like say, disabling the blinking cursor) or something that people might want to change several times during a session. indicate-buffer-boundaries fits neither criterion. Enabling a user to set all possible 81 values of indicate-buffer-boundaries through the menu bar is possible, but would be rather elaborate. Allowing to set only a subset of the possible values through the menubar might give problems when trying to indicate which value is enabled in the menubar, if the user chose another value in some other way. The option did not exist in 21.4, so it never was customizable through the menubar in any released version. It is a complex option and hence is better customized through Custom.
