That decision was made long ago and Pierre's vague arguments about dependencies being "bad" don't change that. Pierre refuses to say anything except that dependencies are bad and that we shouldn't introduce another one. He has given no evidence and hasn't responded to the counter agruments except to reiterate his claims. If there is no good reason to not move the file out to its own package it will be and no-one has clearly stated a reason that it should not be done. -- Justin Patrin
