Re: Frameworks in HOME/Library, why?

There is a very good reason for requiring a copy into ~/Library/Frameworks.

Namely: You don't have to.

Specifically, your framework has test code, right?
You've got a test app that links against the development copy of the framework, right?

You never, ever, make a change to your framework that breaks something, right? :-)

By requiring a copy, if you make a change, and it fails the test cases, your regular apps, which are using the last "good" version, continue to work.
