Client Area Navigation

[HeadStand]

Previous versions of Commerce (before 4.1) had a sidebar navigation so that the user could easily move between different sections. After 4.1, this was removed. I get that the default menu navigation includes a separate link for each area, but the layout change basically forces Administrators to use the default menu and does not allow them to hide or remove any of these menu options.

Was there any other reason that the sidebar was removed, and can it be brought back? I have multiple clients that make heavy use of nexus, and all of them have customized primary menus. Some of them have in fact specifically asked me to put the Client Area back into the user dropdown menu - so now I've been forced to add a link for each section, which makes the dropdown a mile long... which is annoying and slightly ugly.

Can we please bring back the sidebar?

This is probably better suited for the feedback forum.
