Subject: [Catalyst-dev] Opinionation

People have for quite a while suggested that we should be more opinionated, 
that we should guide people down a "One True Way". and lots of other people 
have said "no, that's a bad idea" for all the obvious reasons.

And they're all Catalyst users and they're all presumably enjoying using it. 
So why do we have this big dividing line that we've argued back and forth over 
on the list almost as many times as config file formats.

I think I might have finally figured out the answer:

Catalyst has a One True Way.

"Do whatever makes most sense within the design of *your* application"

Am I on crack? If so, is it good crack? ;)
