I think there's some merit in that.  There are pros and cons, and it
would be nice to hear what people think.

At the moment, for instance, people can't really get the latest RDoc
without getting the latest Ruby.  And people don't always want to get
the latest Ruby, even the latest 1.8 Ruby.  This is only a temporary
problem as RDoc matures, but it has caused a lot of confusion in
recent months.

I think it's fantastic that everyone who has (recent) Ruby has RDoc.
I just wonder if there's a way of having the benefits of coupling
without the drawbacks.  ::shrug::

Cheers,
Gavin
