Site administrators upload the XML file prepared by the hack author and presto, new items appear in the AdminCP.

The bummer here is that hack authors can't specify which existing group to add a menu item under (for instance, adding a new PM-related funtion or feature under the existing PM AdminCP tree) nor can hack authors specify a group that their hack should appear above or below. A hack author might want to add "Clans" right below Usergroups or Promotions.

I'm guessing that new menus created with this XML technique appear way at the bottom?

Of course to add all the functionality I am talking about, the admincp XML file would need to be cached in a "merged" state.
