If the goal is to save space by removing menubars from applications it
should be done in the proper way: re-designing these applications such
that menubars are not necessary.

The only advantage I can see of doing it like this is to irritate users
and developers into using/creating applications that don't rely on a
menubar (such as those provided by elementary, the new U1 control panel,
Google Chrome, etc). But I don't think this is the proper way to achieve
that result.

To continue this course of action, an alternative method for displaying
certain common actions the menubar supplies should be proposed so that
developers have a sane alternative. In elementary we call this the
AppMenu (the little cog on the right side of the toolbar). It holds
actions that don't necessarily belong in the other parts of the UI such
as the "About" "Preferences" "Report a Problem" and other entries that
we've found are necessary to carry over from the menubar.
