This has two things that doesn't make sense to me.

1) it advocates a Rails folder with it's own init.rb in it. AFAICT
that's an old idiom that no longer applies to Rails 3, but I can't seem
to find a definitive confirmation on that.

2) it advocates that /PLUGIN/init.rb should include
/PLUGIN/lib/yaffle.rb as the one and only require statement and that
yaffle.rb should be the file where all the needed require statements be
written to "keep init.rb clean."

I don't understand the merit of that. How many require statements is not
clean? 20, 20, 5? If I have 2 requires, I should have a whole separate
file just to isolate the requires? Is there some other purpose, because
that just makes no sense.

Looking for insight. Thx.
