Personally, I don't think I'll use the helpers at all and I'd rather not see this pull-request merged. But I'd like to suggest a compromise. How about by default, this gem only includes the assets. But if you include it in your Gemfile like this then it would also include the helpers:

```ruby
gem 'font-awesome-rails', require: 'font-awesome-rails/helpers'
```

Or the logic could be reversed and the helpers could be included by default but an option would exist for including the gem without the helpers:

```ruby
gem 'font-awesome-rails', require: 'font-awesome-rails/without_helpers'
```
