13371	Nav menu items should be filterable, regardless of context	nathanrice	nacin	"It's kind of weird that in order for a plugin/theme to filter the nav menu items, the $args->context needs to be 'frontend'.

For example, since the $args object is passed through the wp_nav_menu_items filter, the user-defined filter can do the contextual checks. For instance ...

{{{
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items', 'my_nav_menu_items_filter', 10, 2);
function my_nav_menu_items_filter($items, $args) {
    if( $args->context != 'frontend' )
        return $items;

    // proceed with the filter
}
}}}

Plus, I can see plenty of reasons why a plugin/theme might want to filter the items regardless of context.

Either way, it should be up to the plugin/theme author, shouldn't it?
