With plugin manager in core, it should not be necessary to bundle views with core. It will be a simple matter of selecting the module for installation, after which plugin manager will download the module, install and enable it for you.
I think the argument of 'let's put views in core because it'll make setting up sites easier' is kind of a bad one in this case. Views is neither easy nor essential for -every- site out there. ----- Cameron Eagans Owner, Black Storms Studios, LLC http://www.blackstormsstudios.com On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 11:15 PM, T L <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 for views in core d8. > > It's a pretty useful module, and I'm guessing most of us use it in the vast > majority of our sites. wrt code flexibility, I think it's a fair trade off > for lowering another barrier to entry for new users.
