Hi,

I heard that Erich Gamma once said in an interview that given the chance to make some change to the GOF book, he would remove the Singleton pattern.

Do any of you have a reference for that (or rather, for what he actually said, because it likely got distorted in the retelling)?

Thanks a lot in advance

- Arno
