I strongly believe that such course of action is not constructive, regardless of whether it is led by me or someone with actual experience in this area. I will quote myself from [1]: Without a case study of this feature all we have are dueling levels of technical and design experience attempting to predict what lies behind a particular singularity. This is no way to judge the impact and fitness of new features. For that one needs a study. Such a study has never taken place, as the feature has never appeared on CPAN in anything even resembling its current form. > Switching to a different medium I think would remove a lot of the > emotion from this process. Yes, this medium is called CPAN. Moreover some of my opponents and the author of the proposed feature himself are already converging on this plan. I have no desire to derail this feature (even though I am firmly in the "probably a good idea" camp). I just want to see it done without bridge-burning.
