are fully "supported" by JRuby (and not just some experimental thingys).
I don't think this is valid at all. It's looking at it in a very
un-Open-Source way to say that the extras should be supported by JRuby.
I think it should be the other way around.
Anyway, this is just my opinion of what would benefit JRuby and its
users. I am not going to run screaming for the hills if I can't
persuade you guys :-) ... And no, I don't think making my own
alternative all-in-one distribution would be a good idea. Either it is
official or it is not work doing.
Once again, official is really not the question when talking Open Source
systems. And you don't need to do an alternative. Just provide an
all-in-one distribution patch, and if it seems good we will include it.
