Are there plans to make the fog gem an "opt in"?

[mwrock]

I'm actually using fog currently but plan to migrate off of fog and port contributions of my vsphere driver to https://github.com/RallySoftware-cookbooks/chef-metal-vsphere. My primary complaint with fog is its bulk. It is indeed a heavy fog and adds considerable time to building out our Vagrant environments. Once I migrate off of fog, I'd like to not have the bits included in my Chef-Metal gem installs.

I'm new to Rubygems and it may be possible to ignore dependencies but I thought I'd ask here if there are plans to make it a voluntary install.

Hmm, I wasn't planning to, but that's a good reason. I'll do that, and include info in the release notes on how to install it.

Awesome. thanks!
