This is the very point I was hoping to make, thanks Edward. If it can simplify things for everyone, great; if it really will only complicate things, not so great. Many software projects have package ecosystems surrounding them that deal with similar issues, and I can't, off-hand, think of cases where the answer was "let's move some of those packages into core development to ease ___". This is why I find it a bit surprising that some feel so strongly about keeping these large, external packages in core. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
