"However, why don't Rational provide versioning as standard in Rose ? Why
only rely on an "external" tool ? One could have imagined a solution where
say ClearCase was completely integrated (and for that sake, invisible for
the user) with Rose, in such a way that it did take care of the problems
that at least some of us experiences regarding Rose in a multiuser
environment. It can't be just because "that your (my) architecture or design
stinks" that I get these problems ?!? Off course Rose must support 3rd party
Versioning tools too, but since you own a tool like ClearCase, why not ship
it with Rose in the first place ?"

Forgive the marketing style message, but I believe this is exactly what
Rational is doing, without compromising the need for storing all artifacts
in one place, and without preventing people from working with other version
control systems...

* ClearCase LT is soon to ship with the Rational suites,
* The Rose/ClearCase integration is enhanced with each release.

Someone else mentioned XML instead of the petal format - I believe (and I'm
not a member of the business units, just a field guy) that the average size
of a model would grow considerably and this would be an issue for lots of
Rose users.  So, Rose provides an option to import/export XMI instead,
thereby at least going close to pleasing everyone :-)
