I guess I'm the first one. I want to propose PLIP 228 for Plone 3.3.
I feel that removing the removal of the 'Add Item' dropdown in many
places in Plone 3 is a regression in behaviour, and makes adding content
a lot more cumbersome. The PLIP has so far only received positive
responses from several people.
The full PLIP can be found here:

Perhaps we could make it optional?
I'm not normally one for having too many options in the UI, but I know
that some people were quite confused about the old behaviour too. It
looks as if you can "add a page to a page" when you see the "Add new"
menu on a page, and it blurs the distinction between folderish and
non-folderish objects. For example, I've seen people who expect that if
they're looking at /path/to/a-page and they add a new page using the
"add new" menu, they expect the URL to be /path/to/a-page/another-page.
(The correct solution to do that, of course, has to do with setting a
default-page on the folder, which is confusing in its own right, but
that's a different debate).
