Because one of the goals of TG2 is to keep the core small. One of our mistakes with the TG1 code base was to add way too many things to the core, so the moment one part of it fail TG was blamed. Which is very bad PR. Specially went something was added to the core and the original author was gone, then no one wanted to maintain the code and it just keep making bad PR. As for SQLObject the project it's one a small bit of what it ones was, why will you want to use a project that is less in every aspect than the default? I can only think of 3 reasons - you have tons of code that depends on it, in that case maintaining tgext.sqlobject will mean less work than migrating to SA. - you are just lazy - you don't want to migrate to 1.1, 1.5 the main reason for 1.1 is genshi and SA support, the main reason for 1.5 is CP3 support, to me it seems none of the core developers has (to this day) a big investment in SO and if they do they are fine with 1.0 or 1.1 for that particular app. So from that I conclude that adding SO to the core will be a mistake as it will rapidly go unmaintained, and people will complain they are no docs or no example or etc, etc and that will create bad more PR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
