Hi guys,

I've noticed the trend of trimming the fat from Rails in preparation for 
version 4 (which I appreciate).

Do you think it'd make sense to also remove the test fixtures engine from 
Rails 4? From what I've seen, it's now more common to use more advanced 
solutions, with FactoryGirl leading the pack, and it's usually more 
practical to use Ruby to define fixtures, rather than YAML.

More specifically:

- would the core team approve of such effort?
- how much work would it mean?
- (related) how tightly are fixtures actually used within Rails' tests?

It's hard to me to estimate the overall value/cost ratio, but if it's high 
enough, I'd be willing to take a shot at it.
