I think this is a case where both Silvan and I had assumed that nobody 
actually used the menus for these functions at all, because they're 
just too commonly used -- even if they were on the top level menu, 
they'd be much harder to get at there than through the toolbars or 
keyboard shortcuts, as well as less obvious.

I've generally in the past been happy to relegate things like note 
insertion functions to second- or third-level menus for that very 
reason -- the only reason you'd want to look at them at all would be 
to remind yourself of what the options were and what shortcuts they 
had.  It's only for completeness and reference that things like the 
tools and note insertion functions are on menus at all.

I take it you do actually use these menu functions?
