Thats just one side of the story. BackgrounDRb no longer depends slave.rb. Its stable as hell. There is not a single bug in BackgrounDRb that has been reported and not solved. You can checkout activity on BackgrounDRb mailing list. BackgrounDRb is not Bj however, It can be if you want to use it like that.
