Can I just add that, since this is purely a bikeshed discussion, and
there is TONS of code that inherits from ActiveRecord::Base (and
others), there is no reason to repaint everyone's bikeshed red just to
satisfy the few people that have mentioned casually that they don't
really like blue?

I suspect you'd hear quite the uproar breaking such a huge piece of
compatibility. It is the way it is.

On a related note, the "internals" change of Inflector ->
ActiveSupport::Inflector and Dependencies ->
ActiveSupport::Dependencies in Rails 2.1.1 actually broke alot of my
code that was in Rakefiles and other places that was taking advantage
of these very cool Rails modules.  For this reason we're stuck on
Rails 2.1.0 until we can lockstep upgrade everything. It's actually a
huge pain in the butt, again for a needless bikeshed change.

"Better" or "prettier" or "more proper" should never trump
"incompatible".
