However, I have toyed around with a similar idea to what you are suggesting regarding having the down menu be a sort of "jump list" menu -- e.g. with weather, favourites, file manager, configure plus options to update and clean both music/video libraries. If it was like that then the power button on the menu would open up the side power menu instead (what you get when you press the power button on the remote) for those without such a remote.
+1 about jump list idea
I've actually customised the simple home menu to include a power button which activates the side menu as my wife and kids couldn't remember to press down to access it because it's a different action to any other skin they've used.
