I'm very much aware of this point; I want to get Sweet to the point where
your "you must load this" set of code is mostly just attachments points
for other things. 

Sweet 0.01 was small enough that "all or nothing" was pretty much fine; the
current code is rather bigger but the feature set is also massively larger.

Given we had a fair number of people using 0.02/3 features in production
already, getting a release out so they weren't using a random snapshot of the
svn trunk became important enough we were just about willing to delay the
refactoring until afterwards.

Given the number of people who've requested it, would you mind if I posted
an announce to the list once a version that *has* been refactored is
available? I'd love to guarantee I'll get to it this week but I really need
to get some work done on BAST, and finding time to do that, refactor Sweet
*and* keep our clients happy and paying us may defeat me :)
