[1.4] menus.xmap in modules just boilerplate?

Hi Lenya devs,

now that we have added quite a lot of modules (45 according to
my last count), it doesn't seem like the flexibility provided by
menus.xmap is really necessary. I guess looking for

  {module}/config/menu.xsp (other location suggestions are welcome)

is sufficient. Or maybe we should at least allow to omit the
menus.xmap if the menu file exists in this location.
In this case I'd prefer convention to configuration.

WDYT?

The menu handling of the publication won't be affected, I was only
referring to {module}/menus.xmap. Sorry for the ambiguity.

I am not sure I understand. As a useecase I would like to use the same 
module within different
publications, but with different menus. How would that work without 
MY_PUB/menus.xmap?

Thanks
