I must admit I'm not sure about this myself, especially with test-unit
2.x now out on RubyForge (which Ryan is part of).

Are the features added in test-unit 2.x being backported into mini-unit,
for example?

Then there's the other option of removing everything from the standard
library completely except rubygems, and letting folks install only what
they want. But, maybe that's another topic. :)

Thanks,

Dan
