-------------------------------------

Hi

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "It offers no real improvement since versioning can be done with embedded naming if desired."  

In my experience, strongly signed assemblies are very important to users with the expectation that important libraries are distributed as strongly signed assemblies.  Spring.NET, NHibernate, Quartz.NET, Castle, and I'm sure many other .NET open source projects (perhaps even iBatis.NET) distribute strongly signed assemblies and by extension require their dependencies to be strongly signed.  Some put the private key in svn and other, like Spring.NET/Quartz.NET, just give the key privately to whoever is doing the build.  The build has logic to detect 'release' build done with a key and avoid building if no key is detected.  Users can then only perform a debug build or create their own private key should they require a strongly signed assembly.  

Cheers,
Mark

> Strong naming of assemblies is problematic in an open-source build environment.  It offers no real improvement since versioning can be done with embedded naming if desired.
