I'm curious - how in the world do you expect an OS to be designed to make it's reliability independent of the level of competence of the SA maintaining it? About the only way I can see to do that is to give the SA very few options for doing anything that he might do wrong, and a system so-designed doesn't need any system administrators (for instance, most of the electronics that run in my refrigerator don't need any system administration). On powerful general purpose machines, that's simply not an option - SAs have enormous power, and correspondingly enormous capabilities for ruining a system if they're not sure what they're doing.
