GNOME 3 update: 'Connect to Server' lives in GNOME 3.5/3.6, I rant about features being moved and removed, and I fix my GNOME 3.4 problem in Debian Wheezy

In my test of the Fedora 18 Alpha release, I was left thinking the "connect to server" feature in the Nautilus file manager disappeared in versions 3.5.x and 3.6.x of the GNOME desktop environment. Thanks to readers, I learned that "connect to server" has moved to a separate application that you call from the shell with the not-so-friendly name "Nautilus-connect-server."
You can access this function with Nautilus/Files running, you just have to click on the Files or Nautilus "icon" in the top panel of gnome shell near the activities button. Clicking on that "icon" brings up a dialogue of connect to server or quit etc. So it sort of functions as a sudo global menu except for only certain options. Very hidden, not intuitive, and inconsistent behavior compared to other apps. So poor choice from the GNOME devs.
