I don't think that's really a good option. Some Rails internals already rely heavily upon the inflections; there have to be some pluralizations loaded by default (whether from within the framework, or an inflections gem). If they WERE to be extracted into a gem (which is what I did), it would still need to be bundled by default. Inflections are used in routing, mapping between models and controllers, and a lot of other places within Rails. They need to be there.
