Since the version shift in redhat-menus gnome lost it's More submenus. I'm pretty positive that most users will consider this a bug, so I attached here a patch for redhat-menus.
Also I've attached one for redhat-lsb because it simply won't install (anaconda overrides this) kill was moved from /usr/bin to /bin, and the spec wasn't updated.
Otherwise cheers
Seth Nickell argues:
"Stuff shouldn't be in More... if people go out of their way to install other software, they most likely want that item to show up in the normal menus, not under More. Furthermore, if people do Everything installs, they asked for it and their menus are going to be cluttered."

All respect for seth, but I have a multi user desktop. My mother needs some applications, my dad others, my bro games, and I need some also. Evolution is the only one we all need, that's why we installed so many packages (all of them to be honest, as I am doing some work on an adaptation of fedora to our school's needs). And if this example is not enough, try having a high-school, different students require different applications, the common ones should have X-Red-Hat-Base, others should be in more. I also saw that fedora.us has X-Fedora-Base, that should be also included in the base stuff. What about the redhat-lsb package? Was the patch submitted?
Then again, this is just my personal opinion, no other persons reacted to this thread, so I guess nobody else is bothered by this.

Ah, thus the long-term master plan that each menu item can be enabled/disabled per-user (and in fact from a user point of view, "installing" and "uninstalling" a piece of software may not be different from adding/removing it from the menu, though from an admin/root point of view it may be).
This is already possible today editing text files (see the XDG menu specification) of course, there's just no GUI on it.
