I've just seen this thread, and decided to chime in.  I think that the
situation is fine: such deep nesting of lists should be _actively
discouraged_ IMHO.

While list support in LaTeX is IMO suboptimal (to say the least), and
enumitem is a must for me in most of my documents, four levels of
nesting is even too many (by a factor of 2).  My opinion is that base
LaTeX should limit the nesting to two levels, and a special package
(like enumitem) should be needed to cater for those really strange
documents that need more.  (Yes, they do exist, but are very rare
I believe.)
