Ok yes for startup.  Andy is talking about runtime ala "inprise" and we are
not there.  When we do we need a DM back in.  I agree with your stance on
"XP", let's do what we need *now*...but understand their point ;-)

|2) The main reason to have a DM at all, as opposed to just using the
|server conf. file order, was to allow runtime checking of dependencies.

|This was not a q&d solution, but the result of listening to all

(it was a qd) but an XP one... frankly the DM was a bit "overdesigned"...

Hey rickard even you fall prey to that these days... what is this
"XMLLoadable" thingy in the CI...

|That said, there are still things to be done, runtime dependencies being
|the main one. So, the dependency manager *functionality* will reappear

ok so we agree, case closed.

|I agree, I should have discussed it more. I did post info about it
|though, and no complaints were voiced, so I continued.

The properties was a catastrophy, the DM was just an annoyance.  we will
deal with the situation as is... to go forward you need to leave some stuff
behind (dixit Steve Jobs)
