because it does too much. It introduces:
1. _uninstall hooks, 2. a dependency system, 3. a notion of 'packages', 4. a new UI for module management and 5. meta files.
Parts of this patch could probably be committed already, other parts need more discussion. In its current state, it is not likely to advance because it is such a burden for everybody involved. Unless this patch gets split, it is not likely to make the September 1 deadline. If this patch gets split, it won't be an 'all or nothing' scenario, and we are much likely to benefit from it in 4.8/5.0.
I just keep quietly asking for the throttle checkboxes for modules (and blocks) to be moved next to the throttle module configuration. That would: - Make the current page a lot simpler so future changes have something easier to build off of (dynamic numbers of columns are annoying). - Provide more space to actually explain what throttle does. (Does checked mean it is on or off while throttled?) - Better separation of code into modules. -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com/
