This argument:

Simplicity is better than complexity.

plus this one

As for the find, gnu find already has -print0 and xargs is compatable.

equals hypocrite.

And you can not even claim that "we already solved thsi problem so it's old code vs new code". A lot of programs just don't work with currect approach (especially script). You need to write and fix literally millions lines of code vs few thoiusands in kernel.

Sorry, but you are advocating more complex solution while preaching simplicity.
