OK, if I follow your reasoning correctly: + Inheritance requires design. + Composition requires less design. + Design means that we have to come together on some issues. + Thus, the less design we have to do, the less initial conflicts. + So that's why a "several toolkit" approach, where everyone just shoots off their own little corner of Avalon and builds stuff is so tempting. + But with everyone in their own corner, we're not really getting a community. /LS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
