Well, it says "Application menus have now arrived, so that GNOME applications can place a menu in the top bar. " I don't know that this necessarily implies a Mac like menu system [I certainly hope not, that would certainly drive me from GNOME; and I'm a huge fan of GNOME3]. It just says applications *can* place menu in the top bar. I think there are cases where this is appropriate. It would certainly be better than the lousy status icon in the constantly vanishing, hovering, vanishing bottom notification bar that apps like banshee currently use.
