Think about it like this: There are different classes of problems. Causing confusion is a worse class of problem than ugliness. 1. Moving menu items causes confusion for each existing user of that feature who upgrades. Moving menu items twice causes twice as much confusion. 2. Putting a menu item in a less intuitive location causes confusion for each user who wants to start using that feature and isn't familiar with its location. 3. Leaving a menu item with too few entries for a version or two just causes temporary ugliness and nowhere near the worst kind of it.
