Perhaps a better question might be: "Is this change likely to get easier or harder after Rails 1.1?"

Presumably SwitchTower would break, but the fix shouldn't exactly be rocket science. _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
