Why shouldn't all upstream-cpan modules in core have this status? A module being part of core has a higher expectation of stability, so the obligations on the author are higher (so if the author cannot fulfill them in whatever circumstance, others must have the ability to step in as needed). IMHO. (It should also work the same way for the reverse situation -- upstream-blead modules that have seen changes should have those changes released to the CPAN in a timely fashion, by whoever is available to push those changes, unless perhaps the change is irrelevant to other versions of Perl. Again, IMHO.)Thread Previous | Thread Next
