You've got a point there. However, the difficult part is to decide
which is which. For me REXML and YAML are pretty basic and it is
certainly easier to use out of the box than to fiddle with proxy
settings. Others might be using TestUnit in their sleep so they would
certainly opt to keep that in...  :-)
