What I am trying to say is, a redesign of an interface _usually_ have
valid reasons. Those users who don't want their menu items moving
around want to live like automated machines. Forbidding such changes
promotes lazyness.

If the update removes features that existed in previous version, that
is another story. I support you forbidding this type of change.

But I really don't buy this "users shouldn't be disturbed by moving a
button from left to right". If the user is disrupted to what they are
used to, he needs to learn not to (be disrupted). Do we really want to
serve a closed-for-learning community? :(
