About breaking documentation, what if: The GIMP comes with a menu layout. The GIMP documentation relies on this layout. It also documents the ability to change this layout, so users can play with the xml files if they really want to. Some users provide completely changed layout to other users who need the same changes. These changes are not part of The GIMP, but something you have to get and to "apply" to The GIMP. So it's not an option in The GIMP configuration, it's a new thing that come on top of it. It's the responsibility of the provider of the new layout to document it / provide easy installation of the layout / whatever. (I'm pretty sure mimicking-layouts are not a good way to learn The GIMP for new users, but now it has started I don't really see how to stop it, as some users do think it will help them. As someone else pointed out, if this is just about getting a free Photoshop they are going the wrong way and will discover it soon enough.)
