Most of us probably encountered the
Warning 1 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings' is
obsolete: 'This method is obsolete, it has been replaced by
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings'
error when first coding up some 2.0 code.

Here is a url to the description.
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottcate/archive/2005/06/13/412248.aspx

The url above talks about the "fix", which also includes adding a reference
to System.Configuration.dll assembly.

Have any ~~other namespaces been moved out of System.dll?

I'm trying to get a feel for .... the principles Microsoft uses for these 2
extremes:
"everything in one master assembly"
vs
"everything is its own assembly".

Thanks for any input.
