The Drupal 7 menu system is responsible for a huge number of tasks: Routing, links, actions, local tasks, access control, etc. Menu links are being split off to entities for Drupal 8. Routing is now a separate Symfony-based system. But what about the rest of it?
There have been a number of issues discussing this tricky question. The most recent is probably the best place to start. This is a question we need to nail down soon, as there are a lot of moving parts that we need to know where they're landing when the dust settles.
