For whatever reason, I don't view IMHO as inflammatory as STFU, YMMV.
Yeah, I was just being a bit silly (and you seem to have picked up on
that ;-).
> Seriously, when is an opinion humble?
Sometimes, I think "honest" instead of "humble", sorry for the
confusion.
No problem, but I guess that's a good reason for not using
abbreviations. Anyway, I'll take an honest opinion over a humble one
any day.

Except that Trans has taken an irrational dislike to the way that
RubyGems does this and has proposed something that is even *less*
usable and is conceptually bankrupt. Frankly, I tire of the
nonsensical whimsical proposals that have no application in the real
world. I want him to put up this time, because every other critic of
RubyGems so far has failed to do so in any way that solves the twin
problems.
I still maintain that packaging and versioning belong together.

Which is, as far as I understood, more or less what Tom proposed. A

Thank you both, Austin and Ara, for the additional infos and the code
samples.
