The changes are described by a specification documented during UBZ for
dapper:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MenusRevisited

"The separation between Applications > System Tools and the System menu
must be removed. This will be achieved by removing the items in
Applications > System Tools 

      * With above, items that are mostly system administration tasks
        and/or use gksudo should be moved to System > Administration 
        
      * Items which affect only the current user are to be moved to
        System > Preferences 
        
      * Anything else that is not going to be hidden/removed is moved to
        Applications > Accessories 
"

The impression we got is not that people get used to that menu but was
rather considering confusing to have Applications, System Tools and a
System menu too
