Right, it isn't getting rid of magic lantern patches so much as magic lantern requests without a patch.
OK this just makes me think in terms of economics. Requests for enhancements which require no action on the requestor's part are guaranteed to trigger "tragedy of the commons" effects. That is, if people can get things for free, the resource will be wasted, irrespective of how useful it is. If people have the ability to request enhancements without first being required to go to some effort, it is highly likely that sooner or later they will request enhancements that already exist. The effort is nil, the resource is free, and there might be a payoff. Basically, this is the reason spam exists. +1 on getting rid of magic lantern requests without patches. -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
