I find it very very hard to believe that the vast majority don't need subcomponents. And if some don't want them, they won't see them anyway. If you don't add a subcomponent in the admin window, they don't have to be showed elsewhere neither. Non-intrusive = all good. It's there for those who need it, and not in the way for those who don't. When you need it and it's not there and you have to hunt down a plugin from track-hacks, install it and worry about maintenance, it get's in the way. > Apparently you didn't read what I said.

So does a lot of brilliant developers (have you read that book btw?) Also, you say you avoid this model. Tracs homepage states otherwise. Do all core maintainers agree on this? In that case, changing the homepage is in order. If not, I think this is the time to voice your opinion. >> There is a reason why so many "other FOSS projects" work this way.

I would not call the linux kernel, git and firefox for giant messy piles of garbages. But I have a feeling we disagree on many things. I liked Trac because your homepage said you followed the Bazaar methodology. Most users judge by features, stability and release cycles. - Endre --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
