IMO, it is better to have no rule, than one that is ignored, and this one has a high probability of being ignored. I would tend to agree with you that hindering bloat is a good thing, especially in something like Ruby. I'm just considering that Ruby now contains two projects that pretty clearly overlap in problem domain: REXML and YAML. I'm wondering what existing library would have been removed had we had rule #2, and which of the two new projects would have been chosen for exclusion. I think the people who want XML support want it because XML is a standard, and people who want YAML want it because XML is too heavy for a lot of projects, and because YAML is more in tune with the simplicity of function that Ruby typifies. -- ### SER ### Deutsch|Esperanto|Francaise|Linux|XML|Java|Ruby|Aikido ### http://www.germane-software.com/~ser jabber.com:ser ICQ:83578737 ### GPG: http://www.germane-software.com/~ser/Security/ser_public.gpg
