I’ve been keeping well out of this, but I wanted to comment on one point: On 7 Nov 2015, at 21:54, bulk88 <[email protected]> wrote: > But https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/issues/235 should've been a wake up call that something is very wrong, but it wasn't a wake up call. The revert should have never happened. It looks to me like it was done hastily to avoid "tough questions", kick the can down the road, and end the unpleasant discussion. <imho> For critical modules like EUMM, if the latest non-developer release on CPAN is broken in a way that affects downstream dists, then it should be fixed in the most expeditious way. If that means a revert to give people time to look at the *correct way forward*, then so be it. Here “critical” for me essentially means “far enough up the CPAN river that a large percentage of CPAN is dependent on it”. And there ain’t much further upstream than EUMM. </imho> Neil
