I don=E2=80=99t know to what extent this applies to RPX, but for instanc= e, you can=E2=80=99t just =E2=80=98(use-modules (rpx the-feature-you-want-to-us= e))=E2=80=99; you end up doing =E2=80=98(use-modules (rpx))=E2=80=99 and potentially pulling more= code than you really want. RPX is a program, not a library. The modules it uses can be used by other programs, certainly. The other RPX-specific functionality should ideally be split out (librarified) into their own modules for easier code reuse, i agr= ee. So far, no one has expressed interest, so reality trumps theory for now.
