If anything needs deleting from that menu, itʼs 'Make frame on
display'. Thatʼs useful to a vanishingly small percentage of users,
and I doubt they'd use the menu to do it.

Some people only use a single frame. Some people use multiple frames
on tty. Tomayto, tomaato.

Fine by me: I have the menus turned off :-)
FWIW, Iʼd vote to have undelete frame enabled by default, which would
obviate the need for the menu item. Having to turn on a mode to get
'undo' behaviour just seems unfriendly.
