| Subject: | deprecate non-essential event loops |
POE 0.2802 (CPAN) added dynamic loading for POE::Loop classes. They
don't need to be hardcoded into POE::Kernel anymore.
Matt Cashner suggested in IRC that we split the POE::Loop classes with
external dependencies into separate distributions.
Benefits:
Smaller base distribution.
Fewer install questions.
Less temptation to install big things that are seldom needed.
Drawbacks:
Extra steps for people who want the extra event loops.

Accepted: Matt Cashner (20 April 2004)
Suggested using dependencies.
No dissenting opinions. Moved to RT for implementation, 9 May 2004.
