Actually IMHO no. If a component doesn't have people that overlook it, that means advance in the development, and no feedback from users, which means that in this non-perfect world it's not used, then it's not a healthy component. In opensource user testing is vital in keeping the system working.
...so the FileGenerator is non-healthy or when was the last time we got feedback about it? ;) Seriously: I don't think we always get feedback on components that are "just working".

Hmmm... I'd prefer to wait till we actually have this testing in place,
That's also what I prefer! But I think these components might become a very important point to gain more visibility. How would you like to announce them to get people taking care of them if we don't have it in our CVS?! I doubt people will go trough the patch queue when looking into cocoon.
or someone actually actively cares for it in Cocoon. Michael said he's working on it, let's wait and see what he proposes. My impression is that it will address these issues.
well, no need to hurry - but the patch was in the queue for ages... ...would be nice to accept this donation - finally ;)
It's not that I don't want dead code in Cocoon, it's that I want live code! See it from the positive side :-)
always do :) -- Torsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
