Metacello ConfigurationOfMagma

[Chris Muller]

Hi Keith, did you not also read:

So I didn't get to Sake and I didn't get to Metacello.  I'm sure you
realize the challenge faced by Sake to achieve mainstream community
adoption; that the nature of a packaging system would require it to be
"mainstream" before many would have the cahaughneys to adopt it.  A
chicken and egg problem; I can certainly understand your frustration
with that, it's the same problem Magma has faced its entire life.

Personally, my own lack of adoption of either tool has had nothing to
do with "attitude".  It's more to do with a combination of time, other
demands, legacy systems, alternative solutions, and inertia.  I've
always had a favorable attitude toward your contributions.  I hope you
will reconsider your own attitude and rejoin the community.

Regards,
  Chris
