This group is about core development of the menu system and related API - it is not a support forum.
This group started for the Drupal 6 re-write:
We are going to rewrite the Drupal menu system. The roadmap and phase one is in http://drupal.org/node/34755 .
For Drupal 8 - the routing has moved to symfony routes. Active discussion now around the final stretch for handling menu links.
A little history
The menu system has a very old history in Drupal. The system as we knew it, began its life in 4.5 (2004 September, actually) when JonBob added back menu caching. As not all menu items were cacheable some code defined parts were in cache, some parts were not. To make it customizable, again some information was kept in a normalized database table when menu module was enabled. The complex structure kept every menu link for every page load. This was a performance and a memory problem. Also, the primary index was the path.
