The concept here is to _decrease_ rather than _increase_ the level of
complexity for users. One reason the present system is annoyingly
complicated is that we are forcing the software to do more than it was
designed to do, and failing to automate things for the user that could
be automated.
From what little I have learned so far of this idea,
including the complete
lack of communication with the user community, the idea of introducing a new
more technical Ultimate Wiktionary sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Well, I think we can avert disaster now that everyone is talking. I did
not personally realize that people weren't fully informed about this --
that's my own fault.
