The documentation problem is part of it. There have been attributionproblems in the past, but I think that those are mostly fixed, and thelicensing issue is still not 100% clear (the copyright and licencegranted are for the *collection* facets; individual facetimplementations may be under different licences). Mostly, I have issueswith the changes that facets makes -- or has made in the past --#require and some of the schemes that the primary maintainer has come upwith. They're both ugly and unworkable.
I think that Gavin Sinclair's "extensions" is a much better approach --group related code, don't separate things into individual filesunnecessarily.
