That's an excellent idea. You should make the many quick reference
cards that you ship in emacs/etc/refcards accessible on the Help menu.
Could you please do that?

I can't see that we concluded that. Rather we had different arguments.
And things are changing.

It's been 11 years here without any progress.
It seems extremely simple to add the reference cards to the help menu,
should we want to do it. So I assume there just isn't much enthusiasm
for the idea, and I tend to agree: I don't see that it's very useful or
necessary to make the help menu longer for this.
I'd be inclined to close this as wontfix. Any other opinions?
