Make things more fancy *only* when you actually need more fancy.

By saying that you are actually saying that *undocumented* semantic changes
to the kernel code are fine as long as they don't change things "too much"

Are you serious about this?

This has absolutely nothing to do with "comfortable". It's black and white
wrong.
