We could introduce a new concept, beside access rules, this would be "user knowledge level" or something like that. At installation, we could ask the user if he is a newbie or an advanced admin or something in between. Then, the UI could be adapted and some options eliminated for newbies.
I hate those UIs. The "newbie" UI is never sufficient, so you always have to upgrade to the "expert" or "advanced" UI anyway, which is a poor excuse for dropping every possible options together. Options should be: - thrown away if useless (e.g. don't ask me to enable a feature, I have enabled the module already). - detected automatically whenever possible (and thrown away). - rationally grouped together when they must stay.
