At least for the time being, the plan is to add actions which affect the application as a whole (e.g. Preferences, Help, ...) there, not the entire menu - actions which only apply to a specific window/document should not move. There are some efforts on the design side though to come up with a replacement for menu bars (think "menu button" in Firefox/Chromium). See https://live.gnome.org/Design/Whiteboards/Menus for reference.
