It is of course a disappointment in that breaking CPAN absolutely should qualify as enough of a contra, all by itself. But even more disappointing is that this is the extent of treatment by the pumpking to which the stability of CPAN rises: one single sentence with no mention of the subject substance. And that is despite the fact that a proposal is in fact on the table, so it need not even be considered a contra unless you want to brush it off to move on. Indeed we swiftly proceed to the part in the program where we bikeshed the API details. Which is of course your strength, so I do not begrudge your indulgence. Moreover that you have good taste in API design was half the reason I was glad to see you at the helm when the job was up for grabs, given my hope that the terrible design disaster that was 5.10.0 never be repeated. But I would like to see some growth in weaker areas that the pumpking position plays a critical role in, too. * Chad Granum <exodist7@gmail.com> [2015-12-22 17:30]: > *Note: This is how it is handled in the latest patch I submitted, which > also adds Exporter::ImportSpecs to turn the feature on, I can remove > Exporter::ImportSpecs and make it always-on if we decide to go that way > (which rjbs post implies to me that we will) I sure hope you don’t.
