Deprecate mock_model?

Testing RSpec
1

Hey all,

I’m thinking of deprecating mock_model in rspec-rails-2. stub_model is
more stable, reliable (not dependent on Rails internals like mock_model
is), much less intrusive, and I find that I use it all the time in spite
of the need to create a real model to back it up.

Anybody attached to mock_model? If so, please make your case.

Cheers,
David
