This still falls under the imprecation against `needless complexity'.

Upon packing his bags in preparation for a journey, the savvy traveller
discards fully fifty percent of his stowed possessions, for he realizes
that needless clutter and gratuitous baggage but weigh him down and
distract him from his goal.  It is only after many years of repeated
mistakes that the truly seasoned traveller can a priori recognize
unjustifiable bloat for its hidden promise of inevitable annoyance.
