I wrote up some thoughts on this, which ended up in a Google doc so I could iterate with Nick and then Rik. Some key points here: • The consumers of this are end users of Perl, so we should try and keep it relatively simple. • The aim for end users is to give them an indication of how reliable Perl is on a given platform, and how that might change in the future. • For p5p, it should help us answer the question "if a given platform is broken, how much should we care?". Also if a new OS comes out (e.g. Fuchsia) it should help us think about how it might progress from "unknown" to "battle-tested". • I think you should be able find out what tier your perl is on from `perl -v`. • We need to think about how a given configuration moves up and down the levels, and what schedule that can happen on. I’ve got a diagram in the document below, which suggests one way of thinking about that. • I started off more detailed and more specific, but after discussion ended up thinking we should aim for an MVP and only go beyond that if there’s a real driver for it.
