The main one is complexity. You can read http://hintjens.com/blog:19 and our contribution process, RFC 22, which requires that every patch be a minimal solution to an agreed problem. Importing libraries breaks that rule and needs to happen with great care when we're sure the tradeoffs are worth it. Technically, additional dependencies make packaging ZeroMQ a horrid process. If you can solve whatever problem you have without using ZeroMQ, why would you use ZeroMQ? -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
