We didn't have a side-bar, we had two, and they both had dozens of
links which was far too many and we've had people over and over again
prove that they lose links in the noise.  "How do I get to the release
engineering page?" "How do I get to the projects page" All of these
were on those side-bars but they were completely overloaded and nobody
could find anything on them.
