Both those applications are available as menu selections in Edgy.
Tomboy is now a panel applet and needs to be accessed through your
panel contest menu (right click on a panel). Alacarte is on the System >
Preferences menu as "Menu Layout".

Neither of these changes really has anything to do with Edgy. They are
simply how the latest versions of third party programs are named named
and/or designed. The only way to include them in a form you're familiar
with would be to package outdated software with Edgy. In the case of
Alacarte at least, that would have been an outdated version of Gnome
itself. Tomboy may fall under that umbrella also, I'm not sure.

I think you're over reacting, or at the very least directing your
dissatisfaction at a completely innocent target. Even if this were an
"Edgy problem" you willingly installed an updated version of Ubuntu.
To not expect some cosmetic changes between completely different
releases of an entire operating system package is a bit unreasonable.
Wouldn't you agree? :)
