Description
One of chef dependency - extlib gem provides lot of bugs in rails.
We're using chef in runtime rails application - extlib is hacking a lot of code that is defined in activesupport.
So maybe extlib gem could be replaced by activesupport which should support all needed extensions or any other solution can be found?
I don't think using activesupport is an option, it monkey patches too many core classes and causes a lot of problems, and doesn't provide the functionality we actually use from extlib. I do think it should be possible to extract the bit of functionality we do need from extlib, namely the Mash class, without using the rest of it.
