I can't imagine that moving the Win32k stuff back to CSRSS would help much in this case, right? Though it is still a good thing especially for terminal servers where hopefully one CSRSS process crashing just terminate the session.
I think Altair and IBM PC both was at least original designs, but neither were they particularly good designs either.

The right way back then would probably be to design a reference system and release schematics and other design information.
