... a single person is able to chase away one of the most capable persons in our community. That's a very selective reading of things. I explained my goals for Perl 5. I asked Rafael specific questions and offered to discuss technical details and to accept any correction for mistakes I've made. What should I have done differently? {Picking} on a release schedule or backwards compatability is not nice when you compare a project that has built up a huge history against a project that has no real production uses yet. Plenty of other projects have regular release schedules and deprecation cycles, including the Linux kernel, OpenBSD, Fedora, Ubuntu, GNOME, Wine, and Samba. I chose to discuss Parrot and Rakudo because I work on those projects and feel more qualified discussing my personal experiences there than on projects to which I do not contribute regularly. Some people obviously missed the respect for Raphael's decisions. He was chosen to make them. If I recall correctly, he replaced hv, who resigned under some pressure (most of it not public) for not releasing a new version of Perl. In reply to Re^3: When comment turns into disaster
