    I think we're missing the point of what Minimal.DB is, or at least should
    be.  It's -not- a VR environment.  It's not supposed to be -anything- but a
    sufficiently small database that the server can load it and a user may build
    up from it.  I think it's got cruft in it which it doesn't have to have.

    The question of the core database is a different one.  I think a problem
    which is inherent in module development is this: What if I hack my MOO?  If
    I install the basic modules, then hack my system, your modules may fail to
    work or destroy things if I then go and install them.  (I saw an approach to
    this which used verb version numbers, but that's perhaps too much effort to
    expect MOO wizards to go to if they're not hard-core, er, core-hackers.)

    Woo, woo!  OpalMOO's back!       There is nothing more precious than
    Rabbits on walls, no problem.    a tear of true repentance.
