Rails core - Mar 2006 - Why is Transaction::Simple incompletely bundled ?

Hi !

Having a problem here.  I'm fighting ActiveRecord really. 
ActiveRecord depends on Transaction::Simple, and helpfully bundles
simple.rb.  Great, except it doesn't work with PDF::Writer and
PDF::SimpleTable.  PDF::SimpleTable requires transaction/group, which
is NOT bundled.

Two solutions:
1. Stop bundling Transaction::Simple and use Gem dependencies to make
the dependency explicit;
2. Bundle Transaction::Simple completely, even keeping the same
directory structure, because at the moment, I had to patch PDF::Writer
and PDF::SimpleTable to remove "transaction/" from the require line.

Should I simply use a patched AR where Transaction::Simple is NOT
bundled ?  This is what I had been doing until I updated one of my
apps to r4091.

We will indeed stop bundling Transaction::Simple when we decide to do
our slimfast release. The one where we decide its okay to break
backwards compatibility. That''ll probably be Rails 2.0.
