simpler to user && more user-friendy != less features || less performance
(necessarily)
Properly documented code, intuitive (and similar) API's, and either a
firmer definition of the file hierarchy or stronger conformance to FHS:
none of these would adversly affect performance or detract from our set of
features. Anybody up for some spring cleaning?
