Reminds me of another quote, which I can neither reproduce verbatim, nor
attribute. A thing is "finished" or perhaps "perfected", not when there is
nothing left to be added, but when there is nothing left which can be
removed. Another way of saying that the simplest solution is likely the
best.

I think there are a lot of sofware projects which could benefit from a
dose of this advice.
