I've used YUI 2's loader (and hurry.resource was inspired by it). I 
don't know YUI 3's loader so I should take a look at it. (It strikes me 
that whatever its technical merits, a javascript packaging system will 
have to appear neutral politically and YUI's loader won't do that. The 
YUI 3 loader is connected to the YUI global object?)

Anyway, YUI's loader only solves part of the problem - at least the YUI 
2 loader doesn't feature a packaging system, just a loading system. I 
want the ease of saying: "my project depends on YUI version blah" and 
having YUI version blah being there, just like I can do for a Python 
package. Such a package should include a dependency map of the included 
resources as well, not just the code.
