I have done a lot of poking around on the newsgroups trying to find a
good explanation as to why I have to take the extra step of making a
registry entry in order for the .NET IDE to show my registered GAC
assemblies. I understand technically why they don't show up but why
wouldn't we want them to? Can anybody give me an acceptable reason
why I might 'not' want to see the entire list of GAC assemblies in my
'Add Reference...' dialog? Why isn't the 'Add Reference...' function
smart enough to pull the entire GAC?

thanks,
Sean
