hear hear. I try to map out a timeline and it seems to all come out of those years around 2007-2008. For some reason around that point the industry, FOSS included, seemed to decide that most computer owners are idiots, that need to be put in the proverbial padded cell for the well being of both themselves and the larger computer ecosystem. Ever since that time, there have been ever more layers of obfuscation and automation put in that is supposedly there to avoid problems, but more often than not fails to account for any usage scenario outside of the valley mainstream. And thus result in all kinds of added complications that needs to be disabled, bypassed, and monitored as some future patch may well bring them roaring back to life.
