 * I’m just wondering. Once you make your menu changes, do the customizations remain
   in place once you deactivate or uninstall the plugin? Or do they revert back?
 * Seems like a very useful tool but just perhaps not necessary to keep installed
   after you have everything set up.

 * Since the WordPress admin menu is generated on the fly, changes to it do not 
   persist when you deactivate the plugin. That’s just not possible.
 * However, in the new version you’ll be able to “lock” the admin menu, which means
   the whole Admin Menu Manager UI is disabled, but you’ll still see your custom
   menu order. And yes, we’re working hard on releasing that soon!
 * Hope that helps!

 * Thanks for your prompt reply. I’ll be watching for that new version and try it
   out.
