Don't worry. It's true that it has been said already, but I think it's 
good to say it again. Indeed I agree that there's a problem of wording. 
But I would see it in "admin". We have many users who can be considered 
"power users", i.e. need a lot of features available, but should not be 
admins in the TYPO3 BE sense of the term.

In the first discussion, I was quite convinced about renaming "User" to 
"Tools" and "Tools" to "Admin Tools". I still feel that it would be 
quite correct.

It just leaves me wondering about the "Setup" submodule, which seems 
ill-placed in such a case, but it is kind of apart anyway.

The next step would be to convince extension developers to put their 
modules outside of the admin-reserved area whenever it makes sense. That 
points back to the question of how one defines an "admin".

Cheers
