<li>menu links (like “Tools”, “Appearance”, or annoying menus from third-party plugin)</li>
<li>submenu links (like “Users > Your Profile”, “Tools > Available Tools”, or annoying menus from third-party plugins)</li>
<li>and dashboard meta boxes (like “QuickPress”, “Other WordPress News”, or annoying meta boxes from third-party plugins)</li>
</ul>
It relies on hardcoded settings in wp-config.php (instead of having yet another admin settings page to deal with).
