Have I mentioned lately how much I hate submodules? ;)

Actually, submodules actually do their job really quite well. They aren't ideal, but they do enforce modularity (hence the name ;)). We just need to get round to sorting out some tooling (local shell scripts / git hooks) to help make sure they aren't quite so easy to forget about syncing properly.

That being said we are very gradually working towards eliminating the third-party submodule.

However, the IDE submodule is set to stay (despite various discussions about merging it internally - I've always said no, and I'm glad I have) - indeed, the fact it is a separate submodule helps to put in place a mechanism which ensures we won't have another 8.1.6-rc-2 type 'balls-up' whilst doing user-testing :)

[ Something which is also on my list to post on - you're vehemence on the subject which I must confess I cannot in anyway disagree with made me come up with a solution to the problem - necessity being the mother of invention and all! ]

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
