Why hide the options in a sub menu (users, KB, who's on etc), when it's not a long list in the first place?

I'd like at least some to be along the top and always visible without having to dive into the sub menu at the top of the admin screen. At least make it configurable so i can move some options if you don't want to move everything to the top level. For my setup I'd also prefer to swap out tasks with KB on the top level if i had a option to do so.

I can no longer see in an instant who's on my sites like i could before, but if this were moved to top level i would (assuming the numeric indicator for the menu icon has not been removed).
