Re: [Fresco-devel] kit destruction not informing the server?

Should the server even be loading all of the kits at startup? Couldn't 
they just be loaded on demand? Making the server store the prototype and 
having each ServerContext clone it seems a bit unusual. You make it 
sound as if this bug could be fixed by ensuring that the server loads 
the PSDrawingKit on startup along with the other Kits... if that's 
correct, it would be the best fix for the release.

Fine, but when two clients ask for a Kit, don't they get a reference to 
the same Kit? Ergo, the list of loaded kits should be maintained by a 
singleton. The server perhaps?

Because I thought we weren't supposed to file Real Bugs in it until 
Monday. For some reason. And I can't even find the post I thought 
supported my position. Instead I find Stefan Seefeld saying "I believe 
the tool is getting reasonably useable to officially start using it." So 
I guess that makes the answer to your question, "because I'm an idiot?" ;-)
