I think this is a great proposal/brainstorm/whatever and that it's a
big misconception that there is a need to cater to the more advanced
users as they are going to find their way around even if explanations
of things are more verbose or the site has been simplified, and I'd
honestly be a bit surprised if anyone from the "advanced user" crowd
would complain. (Though I'm sure someone will for some reason, but not
everyone can be made happy so life goes on.)
