This is a topic near to my heart. I think it's a logical move to have a separate dashboard for identity. At the summit, we have a session planned on discussing the overall Information Architecture of Horizon http://icehousedesignsummit.sched.org/event/3b3b3430fe23da9ffed6a15eda50fd25
One part of that discussion will be to look at where Identity fits in. But a second item needs to happen to make this feasible. Horizon needs to adopt a more extensible layout so that we can accommodate more than 2 dashboards without running into size constraints. This is also a planned discussion at the design summit. So no definitive plans yet, but stay tuned.
