Comment (by darkdragon):

 It isn't that the feature is broken because of its perceived complexity
 (why would you want to simplify it otherwise?), it is broken because the
 API doesn't allow for one quick stop for adding capabilities.

 Why would want to take away an excellent feature that would make WordPress
 worthy of being a CMS? It doesn't make sense. Just add a couple more
 functions that does the simplification for you. If you want to change the
 scheme, okay, just allow for what is currently available.

 I would seriously have to reevaluate my position of using WordPress in the
 business environment if such a neat feature is dismissed.
