It is a worthless claim to make that there is too much of 
something, if you cannot come up with an concrete example. "I've 
got that gut feeling, that" is not even remotely an argument and 
just kills time of everyone in this discussion.

If we want to discuss the future of the language, it's totally 
pointless to do it in an abstract way. “We need to make the 
language more stable“ is not a goal or something, it is totally 
unclear what that actually means, why this is important in the 
first place, how we can say that we have accomplished it or what 
we need to do to realise that goal.
