I couldn't agree more with all your points, especially your first one:

There's two projects - the Perl 6 language and the Parrot VM. The more ambitious project, in terms of implementation, has always been Parrot.

This is exactly why i think the Pugs project is so important, because it decouples these two projects from one another. It makes no sense for Perl 6 (the language) to have to wait until Parrot (the VM) is done before it can be implemented. These two tasks are natural canidates for parallelization in my mind, and IMHO the Pugs project is doing exactly that.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
