By seth:

I have some reservations about doing that -- or about how we would do that. I don't want installing activesupport to be a requirement for doing Chef dev work or testing in general.

I also want to be sure that we only run with activesupport in isolated configurations. We need to be careful not to pollute our test environment with the activesupport monkey patches so as not to begin relying on them accidentally.
