Good question. I'm not sure I an give a good answer. I do think systems get 
less flexible as they get more complex. I suppose that isn't provable or always 
true, but it's empirically "proven" true in my Linux desktop use. As bad as old 
X11 was, I have repeatedly seen relatively simple ways of solving problems cut 
off by desktop "solutions" containing implementation details I could never see 
any use for at all.
