Problem/Motivation

having the system module manage menu blocks seems unintuitive, we have a menu module for that.

Proposed resolution

Move the this code into the menu module. 

  // System-defined menu blocks.
  foreach (menu_list_system_menus() as $menu_name => $title) {
    $blocks[$menu_name]['info'] = t($title);
    // Menu blocks can't be cached because each menu item can have
    // a custom access callback. menu.inc manages its own caching.
    $blocks[$menu_name]['cache'] = DRUPAL_NO_CACHE;
  }

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
