Apologies for my gmail-lagged empty message prior to this one.

I don't think an "old" menu is a good move - it would suggest to the possibly lazier extension developers that all they need to do is update their tabs and call it a day. Seems like it would open the door for a lot of 0.8 extensions masquerading as 0.9 compatible. An "old/deprecated" menu would definitely have some code smell.

If the only difference between 0.8-compatible extensions and 0.9-compatible extensions were the Tab API, I'd agree with you. But as it stands, Radiant 0.8 -> 0.9 isn't a simple drop-in update for most extensions. So if updating extensions has to happen anyway, I think the intent here is to prod developers to adopt the new tab categories along the way.

That won't do much to encourage extension authors to update their extensions, but will certainly keep Radiant users from updating to 0.9.

I mean, a new tab named "Old" or "Legacy"? How to explain that to people who are merely using Radiant for managing content? I'd rather stick to 0.8 than have to explain my users why is some important stuff now under a strangely-named tab.
