Considering I've written well over half of it with my own two hands would it be me? I don't care if you copy, but use appropriate license and credit the authors involved appropriately. But really I don't know what your so upset about. I upgrade my system. I got Ruby 1.8.3 when I did. I did not know gems would break b/c of it --and yes I'm going to go back an reinstall 1.8.2 to fix it. The name only changed _once_, for brief period, btw. Most people didn't even seem to notice b/c I still had both versions out there. And ALL previous directory paths involved are supported. As for the interface change, the old way still works. But I've explained tha very good reasons behind moving forward in this way. You might not like it. Fine, but why get mad at me for it? I'm the one maintining all this, I'm the one slaving day and night to make the best damn add on lib for Ruby there is. You don't like it then don't use it. I am quite clear on where this is going. There is no "if", no "fragility". It is as supposed to be. And in the end when its reached maturity, you'll see I made the right choices. I'm sorry I can't just snap my fingers and *POOF* it's all done. But progress means change. Facets is a work in progress. T.
