I also think it's very important to have similar way to change System
Preferences and do Administration tasks like in previous Ubuntu versions
(for example because there are many documentation for users, which
describes this way, also users are already get accustomed to the way how
to change System Preferences/Administration in Ubuntu). Luckily this
problem is already fixed by upstream developers - look at this
bugreport:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402797 ([Patch] Make it easier
to switch back to Preferences menus)

We need just to activate usual way to change in Ubuntu preferences, like described in comments of bugreport above.
In GNOME bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398970 (Issues with the new control center) is mentioned one good idea about  keeping the system/preferences hierarchical submenus in gnome-menu bar:

We should use control-center window in slab (gnome-main-menu applet),
but leave usual way (keep the system/preferences hierarchical submenus)
in top gnome-menu bar.
