FWIW Physics-5 is out with new toolbar support among other things. So was Akash from AC?

Well, I think we still need to support old toolbars for a while (a year, 18 months) unfortunately, until major deployments have moved to a build with Sugar 0.86 or better. Releasing an Activity that won't run on the majority of machines in kids hands is not much of a motivation (to me at least).

Yes, needs to be tackled step by step, there is also the interesting tangent of touch only devices pulling in a different set of navigability goals.
