Hm, not easy to answer. One would have to find out what people really 
use. As for the mount as treeroot thing, I know that even really 
advanced t3-users do not know about it, because it is so hidden (I know 
at least one). In my opinion, that feature is very usefull also for 
smaller pagetrees with some 50 to 100 pages.

Other than that I can only tell you what of those items in the context 
menu I am using a lot, and those I never use.

Favorites:
* Edit page properties
* New
* Mount as treeroot
* Delete (which I do find is placed to far down)
* Hide
* Copy and Cut (if the target node is to far away for drag&drop)


Never or hardly ever used:
  * Edit (i simply click on the title)
  * Info (just found out that this is different from what I see when 
Web->Info)
  * Visibility settings (always did this via Edit page properties)


So, if I had the choice, I would either move 'Info' into 'More options' 
and get 'Mount as treeroot' on toplevel instead. And I would get rid of 
'Edit' altogether and having 'Edit page properties' right at hand.

Prosit, Uschi
