Someone ultimately has to make the in or out decision. No one person has 
ultimate control over the whole of perl, but individual pieces are in the 
hands of single people. It's the best way, when the people with the 
responsibility have good material to work with, to get the sort of artistic 
integrity you really need for a coherent product.
