An alternative to Gems

[Bil Kleb]

Nor does IMHO for basically the same reason.

For whatever reason, I don't view IMHO as inflammatory
as STFU, YMMV.

Seriously, when is an opinion humble?

Sometimes, I think "honest" instead of "humble", sorry
for the confusion.

Which is, as far as I understood, more or less what Tom proposed. A
quote from the original post:

Thank you both, Austin and Ara, for the additional infos and the code
samples.

Except that Trans has taken an irrational dislike to the way that
RubyGems does this and has proposed something that is even *less*
usable and is conceptually bankrupt. Frankly, I tire of the
nonsensical whimsical proposals that have no application in the real
world. I want him to put up this time, because every other critic of
RubyGems so far has failed to do so in any way that solves the twin
problems.

I still maintain that packaging and versioning belong together.

Yeah, I was just being a bit silly (and you seem to have picked up on
that ;-).

No problem, but I guess that's a good reason for not using
abbreviations. Anyway, I'll take an honest opinion over a humble one
any day.
