Folks:
Brian wrote three patches for Tahoe-LAFS recently and so far I've only
applied two of them to trunk. The third one doesn't change behavior or
performance but adds beautiful, colorful JavaScript-based
visualization of download behavior. I haven't applied it because it
includes a copy of jquery and a copy of protovis. I don't like
including copies of third-party libraries in our source tree.
...
I also don't like adding hundreds of KB and tens of thousands of lines
of code to our source tree, and neither do I like adding compressed
(minified) things into our source tree instead of "the preferred form
for modification", i.e. raw human-oriented source.
In my opinion, adding additional visualization of Tahoe operations is
much more valuable than avoiding temporarily (until we find a good
solution) violating this dependency management principle.
