Over-complexity was a major contributor to the failure of OpenSSL. I think there's a real danger of building an overcomplicated system that sets us up for problems in the future. Especially as it ties into everything, presenting a large attack service from other parts of the system that are supposed to be lower privilege.

I've accepted udev, but I'm still wary of dbus.
