At the moment Vibrate has several options in sounds and feedback settings:

• Always
• Only when slient
• Only when sounds on
• Never

Meanwhile in ambience settings you can set ringtone volume but not the vibrate setting.

My suggestion is, change the vibrate options to a simple on/off, but make it settable via ambience settings. That way the interface is simplified but you'd also be able to do things like have a separate "vibrate" (silent, vibrate on) and true "silent" (silent, vibrate off) mode.

Someone will say they like being able to set vibrate by turning the volume down to zero and turning it back up again when they want sound, and they don't want to lose that feature. And certainly you could keep all the current vibrate options and add the vibrate setting to the ambience settings. I just suggest it this particular way because I think it's also good to remove complexity where possible rather than just add more all the time.
