we don't get upset about the complexity within hardware abstractions. i guess, because we don't usually see it? and, because software is cheap, it tends to be optimized for the immediate future, to hack and ask questions later, even if that means exploding complexity into my face later on (did i just argue against source code availability?) though we've come full circle to the original hardware interface with 'tiny horrible not xen' and the like. Only the interface is buggier and slower. but we're all familiar with buggy and slow hardware too..
