If I'm interpreting that correctly, you're saying you'll be cutting out
unused menus, or only including the ones needed?

It's a good idea to cull them, but also consider that some of the inactive
ones are, or could be, used as examples. 

I recall seeing an old doc somewhere that guided a new sysop step by step in
what they needed to do to configure a specific package to get it up and
running. Perhaps a mix of the two, your turnkey solution, plus a doc which
covered a few other things, or offered "cookbook" style hints on how to do
specific things -- eg; how to set up a lightbar menu, a door game, how to
configure a new theme/language, or things of that nature. 

Happy to help out with the docs there too (disclaimer: time permitting). :D
