The system settings menu could use some restructuring. You can see a first draft of how it could look. The idea behind it is that it should be oriented at the needs of the users and their problems, not at the programs that run under the surface.
Examples: why is "Regional & Language" personal, "Date&Time" not? why is the configuration of the printer "General", the configuration of a digital camera "Advanced"? why is it "General" to choose which audio backend you want to use but not which energy settings you prefer?

This is already being worked on. Please see this thread Configuration modules disposition under System Settings (survey)
