Well my understanding (which might be wrong) is that the JEP has ambitions higher than implementing `par` and `race`, and that the parallel-run example is just this: a simple example that demonstrates the usage of a general API coming to Java.

As for complexity: as long as it's essential, not accidental, we can only look for better abstractions that make it bareable :)
