I followed down the path of why my app was bringing in 'minitest' in production and noticed that activesupport has a dependency on minitest. I wondered why it wasn't a development dependency and then it dawned on me that it was necessary for ActiveSupport::TestCase. What does the core team think about breaking the testing-related stuff out of activesupport into a separate gem? It would eliminate the dependency on minitest and could load (probably a trival amount) of less code for production Rails apps. Is this a good idea and a worthwhile thing for me to spend some time on? Is this much more work than I think it might be? Thanks in advance!
