Description Pavel Buzek 2002-10-09 12:33:57 UTC 
this class does not fit into SPI
Comment 1 David Konecny 2002-10-09 13:01:41 UTC 
Although I heard couple of definitions of what is SPI and what is API
and some rules how to distinguishe these two I still feel a bit lost.
I don't have any problem with this issue, but I thought that
NatureInstall _is_ SPI, because it is something what must be
implemented and provided by modules, they provide this "service",
therefore I thought that is exactly what SPI is for. Other reason was
that there is no API way how to get NatureInstall, so as an API it is
unusable. Only project infrastructure works with NatureInstall and
uses it.

So for the moment I have feeling that this is INVALID issue. What is
your opinion?

see 27914, it contains the final decission on API/SPI
