26. Doing nothing
is not an option
If you love Perl,
if you want it the best,
if you see it in the future,
if you want it last longer,
if you want it develop,
if you want new users,
etc., etc.
48. The biggest problem facing Perl is the lack of a single clear
vision for where Perl is going, and a strategy for getting there.
And there's no-one (wanting) to provide these things. And the lack
of this prompts some people to pitch their vision and strategy
(which is where I think Moe is coming from). I briefly hoped that
one of the outputs of the perl reunification summit was going to
be such a vision, but if it was I didn't see it.
I'd prefer a single unified vision, as I think the greatest success for
Perl lies that way.

61. However, I think this is all somewhat beside the point. Perl 6 is
designed to fix the problems pointed out by the 361 RFCs, and
Perl 5, by whatever name, needs to address at least a subset of
the same problems, and that is not likely to be easy to get
consensus on. Also, I suspect that as soon as Perl 6 achieves
speed parity and interoperability with Perl 5, there will be less
grumbling all around, since a part of that is driven by a
perception of the failure of Perl 6. But when Perl 6 actually does
become a better Perl 5, people won't fight it quite so much.
That's how it looks from this end, anyway... :)

62. Apocalypse 1
I was initially inclined to accept this RFC, but decided to reject it
on theological grounds. In apocalyptic literature, 7 is the number
representing perfection, while 6 is the number representing
imperfection. In fact, we probably wouldn't end up converging on
a version number of 2*PI as the RFC suggests, but rather on
6.6.6, which would be rather unfortunate.
So Perl 7 will be the last major revision. In fact, Perl 7 will be so
perfect, it will need no revision at all. Perl 6 is merely the
prototype for Perl 7. :-)
