   I will definitely have to watch out for these “features” in upcoming plugins. It is already bad enough that plugin authors put the settings for their plugins under different menu areas in WordPress (sometimes under Settings, sometimes under as a totally new menu item in the left-sidebar, sometimes buried elsewhere).

   The best way to avoid “plugin creep” is to be careful and ask yourself the question “do I really need this plugin, or is there a better way to do what I want?” Oh, and always make sure to keep your plugins up-to-date and always uninstall a plugin right away if you decide it doesn’t fit your needs.

   Hopefully plugin authors don’t abuse the admin bar, but trying to prevent it could be a challenge. I think that any plugins that do add something to the admin bar should make it optional, and preferably off by default.

   Personally I’m adding an option to the next release of Fluency Admin which will give the users the option (turned off by default) of adding the wp-admin menu (in drop-down menu form) to the admin bar for quick access.

   Honestly the menus on the admin bar is not need in most cases IMHO. It exposes a lot more than you think.

   Each plugin, should let us disable/enable its menu – that’s fix the potential problem.

   Anyone know how to add submenu links under the blog name?
