There is one big problem with this: tutorials. People are already having big problems following the tutorials that are written for gimp-before-the-menu-reorganization, now I think it could be just horribly hard if the tutorial says "Select Image -> Colors -> Filter Pack" and if that was considered "Advanced" while our user chose "Beginner" when starting Gimp for the first time. So it would not be in the menus at all.
