Umh... I could somewhat agree with moving text menu out of normal.mod.
But...

I feel we have passed the over engineering milestone sometime ago... and
 I am not frankly happy about that...

Changes like this just make it a) harder to maintain, b) bigger overall
size impact, c) as a plus more modular approach...

I also fear that we seem to be missing some lead for the project that
could use his authority to make decisions...
