Hi,
would you consider merging the rspec and rspec-core gems? It's really puzzling, because sometimes you need rspec, because the specs "require 'rspec'" somewhere in the code, but the code itself can run without rspec gem, only using rspec executable. This executable draws all the dependencies in by itself, which is what seems to be the purpose of rspec gem. What is the reason behind having the separate rspec gem, that has no functionality? The best solution, I think, would be to move rspec-core to rspec.

Thanks.
