It shouldn't be. Never be afraid of learning, even in the tightest of
situations. It is good for your brain. It helps with analytical
thinking.

Once constant learning becomes part of your life, you really don't get
bothered with UI changes.

Promoting "not learning" will drive the community lazy. I think the
educational system all over the world forces people to acknowledge
learning as burden. This is not good for humanity. I don't believe
that Fedora should follow this road of lazyness.
