So the next hot article will be "OMG a GNU/Linux distribution has a messy code base"? Once you are talking about a multiple GB system, of course it's messy. Except it is actually a very poor choosing to describe the situation. E.g. mixing multiples programming langages in a big system has nothing messy, it would even be a HUGE warning not to encounter multiple programming langages in such a huge system.

"""Once you are talking about a multiple GB system, of course it's messy. """ Only there's no need for a typesetting engine + layout templates + graphing, math, bibliography etc add-ons, to ever be a "multiple GB system". It just carries too much legacy garbage.
