yes, that's a good thing to do.

well "said" ;-) but no, not neccessarily. at this point I'm just 
exploring how to get rid of facet/ while potentially still offering 
the same kind of functionality. the reason core and more are divided 
into the require namespaces like that in the first place is b/c 
otherwise it's too hard to organize from a developers side of things, 
especailly when running rdocs on them. and i've gotten a lot of grief 
from the RubyGems and RDoc people about this --they are of the opinion 
that "one project == one rdoc", and the fact that there are two sets 
of rdocs for facets is stupidity on my part.

on top of this, i don't know how offering stand-alone packages for 
each more lib plays into it. I just know that it's something we need 
to have to compete well with other project like codeforpeople--and 
somehow i have to figure out the best way to do it.

forgetting the past for moment which would you prefer anyway?

  require 'facets/core/...'
  require 'facets/more/...'

or

  require 'facets/...'

OTOH, it may not matter, I'm still not sure this is 100% perfect, but 
as of yet I've had no trouble with it:

  require 'facets'
  require '...'

in any case don't worry about the potential for change in the future. 
it's still very far off, and when the time comes if requires need to 
change i'll write you a script to do it automatically ;-)
