Seems like the opposite of love -- they're removing a large swath of features in order to bring some new ones in.
Frankly, we don't see feature removal nearly enough these days. A move towards simplicity seems like a win.
Simplicity is not so useful in operating systems or filesystems though. There are enough "simple" filesystems out there -- the useful filesystems are the ones that aren't so simple. There's lots of great educational "simple" OSes, but nobody uses them for real work.
