-That is a much better format than my unmergable one ;).

-> "append" usually has two "p"s. Is the omission deliberate?
-
-Nope, sorry :p

-> It sounds pretty complicated. I would probably use a type system rather

-Ok. I'm just worried about bloat. It's pretty easy to move things
-around at the moment, but I'm worried that adding lots of attributes
-with special code will start a slippery slope of trying to satisfy
-everybody internally. Then things start looking more like Arch, with
-newbies scared off by the confusion. I know the Arch people like the
-power, but it took me several hours to figure out how to create a
-repository ;). Some people like bug dependencies, and some do not

-From the *long* Trac post, you can see that this is divisive issue.
-
-I would be in favor of emulating TracCrossReferences
-(http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracCrossReferences) in our core. We
-could have references and backlinks fields for bugs (and comments?).
-But I'd rather not add blocking, etc. However, having a seperate
-plugin obviously doesn't work for some people ;). We'd like to bundle
-lots of functionality, but keep the core fairly clean and flexible.
-
-Therefore, I'd like a way to put non-core implememtation code in a
-seperate submod. We already call our libbe code "plugins", and we're
-extending the builtin BugDir, Bug, etc code, so I thought we'd call
-the non-core submods mixins (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixin).
-
-Anyhow, just my 2c.
