  That statement involves two complaints.

  One is that Aggravation is just too risky even with otherwise solid
benefits.

  The other is that some versions of randart code produce too many
artifacts with Aggravation.  In I think a game of Sangband, I once
ended up approaching a full kit of powerful but aggravating
artifacts.  Randart code really could use some other potential
negative effects, and possibly other ways of curbing power levels
(or whatever it is that ends up sticking aggravate onto an artifact.)
