Btw., even if we want to start simple with most things, the above 
statement is not actually true in the broad sense: the constraint for 
the kernel is utility, not complexity.

We have various kinds of highly complex code in the kernel and can 
deal with it just fine. Throwing away useful ideas just because they 
seem too complex at first sight is almost always wrong.

Thanks,
