Menus like those (File, Edit etc.) are *not* going away. The
application menu is for application global stuff like opening the
preferences dialog (not something that you do regularly).
The purpose is not to move the menus to a top bar like done in OSX or
Unity. The idea is to move stuff that is not related to the specific
window (but affects the whole application)
to a common place.

Suggest one and file a bug (upstream).
