Hi Per,

   I understand completely your point about extensibility; however you 
distribute a library including both OpenUP + the extension (DSDM in this 
case) - although I'm not interested in the extension I have to deal with it; 
do you plan to distribute all the extensions in one library? (I'm 
experimenting with OpenUP because RUP library is too fat and I see same 
threat here.) Let me start with the simplest possible option.

Why not keep them separated? Everyone who is interested in an extension can 
download it..


Regards,

Roman
