In this old report

Enrico Sorcinelli notes the fact that it is possible to override the
built-in menus in Apache::Status with the menu_item() API.
He believes this is a bad thing, and provided a patch that will disable
this with a warning.
I don't see a good reason why people shouldn't be able to do that. And
after all, even if you block it thru menu_item, there will still be ways
to achieve that.
I can't find a good reason why people would want to override the
built-in menus either. But I would prefer if the choice remained in the
users hands.
If nobody objects to this one, I'd consider the issue closed and remove
it from STATUS
+1 to close -- I can see that this might be useful, if an evil module
overrides the core functionality as part of its load. But this is a debug
module, and different people will have a different concept of DWIM in this case.
Though it's probably a good idea to CC the original "bug" submitter when
discussing/closing those issues.
