Betternestedset talk - Sep 2007 - acts_as_nested_set integration

What is the thinking behind maintaining a separate better_nested_set
rather than integrating with the acts_as_nested_set code-base proper.
In other words, getting these features directly into edge rails.

If acts_as_nested_set is "broken," and better_nested_set is... well,
"better" (which it clearly is), I think either the better_nested_set
improvements should be wrapped into rails or acts_as_nested_set should
be removed altogether.

Care to shine a light on this process?

Many thanks,

In a word, you''re right, but I don''t think AANS has been
dropped from
core yet. Back in the pre-Rails 1.2 days, the core team decided that
several things, including AANS, should be spun off as plugins, in an
effort to keep Rails proper lean and maintainable. AANS was supposed
to be dropped from 1.2, but that never happened. I''m not sure if they
are leaving it in 2.0, or if their thinking has changed recently.
