Also, it saves a tap whenever you want to change brightness.

Fair enough to have some part of the top screen bring up the menu, but why not the middle top and keep consistency with the bottom (because their consistency argument doesn't hold water as it is)? I argued this unsuccessfully. The change they made has made 1 handed reading for myself and others that also argued against it in beta impossible. That's why I call it a stupid decision.
I agree with David that the developers do listen to the beta, but at a higher decision making level our arguments fall on deaf ears (they do fix lots of things we find). It's happened before that they ignored us and ended up backtracking after the backlash we predicted happened which is why I recommend contacting customer service.
And we have begged and pleaded for more description of changes/new features to go out with the firmware, but that doesn't happen either.
