I think that this is absolutely wonderful news: thank you all for for
flexibility in resolving a potentially confusing situation in a way
that will benefit the entire community.

Brian Marick has been getting quite excited about Ruby becoming the de
facto language of the testing community. Combined with the very
positive feedback we've been getting from folks doing test-first
design and refactoring with Ruby, and we're starting to build a
credible base with the leading edge of the development community.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Test::Unit in the standard
distribution. That'll open the way to some high-quality testing of
extensions and libraries.

Thanks again.
