If it doesn't cause other problems, I'd like to request the 
reinstatement of the bread crumbs.

I've found that the breadcrumbs are not always redundant.   Any time you 
choose something from a list and then from there you need to use another 
page with a list, you can get lost and need a lot of clicks to get 
back.  I think the only time this is a problem right now is when adding 
a Role to an Application.  But it will likely come up again in the future.

Let's say I need to add several roles to an application.  I'm in 
Applications --> MyApp --> Roles --> Add Role.

To add a second role without breadcrumbs, I need to go all the way out 
and do several clicks:
Click Applications on lefthand menu
Find my App again in the (possibly long) list
Click on Roles again
Click Add

If I still had breadcrumbs this task would always be two clicks instead 
of four or more.  Also, forcing you to go all the way out to the 
lefthand menu and re-navigate the list seems wrong.
