No idea about that, but the documentation could certainly be an issue.
In general, I think we should be careful about changing the menu
structure, and also that we should have good reasons for the changes. In a
perfect world, we'd even document _why_ we do the changes.
I haven't followed this thread, so the following idea has probably already
been raised, but just in case it hasn't: I think it'd be a good idea to
ask users for feedback on the menu structure. Maybe by releasing a
separate "version" of LyX so that users can actually test it. Or by
presenting the structures (old, new1, new2 etc) to a wider range of
users as menu trees or something.
If it's only a matter of changing the menu configuration file[*], you
could publish that file on the users' list and ask for feedback.

[*] Is it only the menu configuration file that needs changing?
