After much IRC discussion, it turned out that my first assessment (that
there would be little to no concern about the T&D menu move) was wrong.
Discussions are still ongoing on how to change the menu in the short and
long term. Personally, I'm only marginally interested in the menu
layout, and I will not anticipate the result by committing any menu
change now.
Also, everyone agreed that the sleep-timer enhancements are not blocked
by any menu change, so the following part of the plan is still in place:
* In the "Time& Date" menu:
* "Sleep Timer" offers the last-used timer value as its default.
(This value is made persistent by way of the settings code.) When
the timer is running, the entry changes to "Cancel Sleep Timer
(hh:mm)", showing the remaining time.
* Add "Start sleep timer on boot" option after "Alarm Wake up Screen".
Nick Peskett, the original patch author, has updated his patch to
implement just this (see FS#10849). I'll commit this patch after I've
reviewed and tested it unless something unexpected comes up.
Thanks to everyone who's chimed in to this discussion! You've certainly
helped making the patch smaller. Er, better. ;-) Special thanks to Nick
for keeping up his good spirits.
Cheers,

Its unfortunate that you let the single hypocrite win. Really everyone
else agreed with moving t&d to settings.
Perhaps I'll just move it afterwards...just cause.
Best regards.
