in thread The current state of Perl6

Why bother freezing a specification you're going to modify anyway, especially given that almost all of the modifications in the Perl 6 specification in the past couple of years (if not longer) have come at the request of implementors?

How is your proposal not a game of semantics dusted with a light sprinkling of unnecessary ceremony? Being able to point to any specific version of a specification won't change the fact that anyone remotely responsible and intelligent will have to evaluate any given release as to its actual qualities and not merely adherence to a specification that everyone knows will change from feedback anyway.
