Hi Ralph,

In some sense you can think of a cached stable install of some set of  
developer tools as a performance optimization. In this case, the  
performance being optimized is the developer's performance installing  
a tool set.

Like any performance optimization, it should not be made prematurely.  
Maybe  the cost of managing the stable install outweighs the time  
saved over developers just grabbing the various bits.

Your bad experience certainly suggests that it is time for a  
prepackaged slime+clojure, --but--

If you are using Clojure you are somewhere in the neighborhood of the  
bleeding edge. It isn't 1.0 yet.

I would love to see somebody step forward in the next few weeks and  
announce a cached install that works. Then I could point to it in the  
book before we go to print. :-)

Cheers,
Stuart
