"Consistently > available" might be a bit more reasonable. I'm being nitpicky here, but we *do* have dedicated resources for at least Linux (e.g. Jenkins build bot) and many other OSes (e.g. Test::Smoke smokers), depending on how exactly you define "dedicated". I define that as "not dependent on someone's round tuits". Andreas' "blead breaks CPAN" smokers would be another example of what I consider "dedicated" resources. But, I also agree that "consistently available" is a better standard for minimal OS support. For example, Craig is an absolute hero in my book for finding round tuits to try stuff (and fix stuff) on VMS with pretty quick turnaround. We want "dedicated". We can accept "consistently available". David -- David Golden <xdg@xdg.me> Take back your inbox! → http://www.bunchmail.com/ Twitter/IRC: @xdgThread Previous | Thread Next
