the problem is, unlike ad nauseam, you know the cost before you make the decision. also milling doesn't make much difference until you're in danger of dying, so this can easily draw 5 or so cards at instant speed for 5. unlike nauseam, where even if you don't actually kill yourself with it you're likely helping your opponent's plan, there's very few decks in competitive magic that aim to win by 'fair' mill, so you're not actually putting yourself any closer to losing. 
120.6. Some effects replace card draws.

Draw one, exile 4, draw another, exile 6 more, draw third, exile 8 more, draw four, 10, fifth card, 40 cards exiled. Seems fine to me.
Might as well be: draw 6 cards, exile your library.

5 mana gets you 3 cards, this tops out at getting you
1-4-5
2-6-12
3-8-21
4-10-32
5-12-45
4 safetly, 5 if it is relatively early in the game and you don't have other card draw. 6 says you need to win this turn.
That doesn't get you a whole lot further than Mind Spring  , and it is absolutely terrible in multiples. I actually find this to be fairly balanced.

I see a fun combo with Laboratory Maniac 
All cards I make have artists credited in the appropriate places. Artist names in "quotes" are DeviantArt usernames unless otherwise mentioned. Click here --->  <--- Click here I'm now going to quote you out of context in my sig because that's what adorable monkey-pigs like me do.

I think trying to remember the amount of cards drawn would get too confusing. I propose:
"draw a card, then exile the top card of your library for each card in your hand. You may repeat this process any number of times"
At least you will never be in doubt as to how many cards are exiled

It's no more confusing than Cerebral Vortex  .

Yuuuuuuki..... Sorry I just realized, hadn't read that in so long. At least I think that's what's going on here.
