Again, it is modular ...

Old Cathedral half-discontinued algorithm maybe works
_sometimes_ for small and/or very well-defined projects by
nature but Emacs is a world already, too late for that to ever
work, if indeed desired from the get go which is debatable ...

P2P review a nice way of putting it, another way is everyone
do as much as possible about everything and no, overhead
issues with maintenance complexity are a miniature detriment
compared to the immense gains all that software brings.
