If that is a question to me personally I'm flexible and everything is good as I believe that the process is for people, not the vice versa. However, I believe that I'm the wrong person to ask about this. I would stick to your original proposition about the social aspect, how to make sure that the PR will get attention of the people with the commit flag, will not get ignored, and the discussion of a new feature won't result an a yet another stonewalling. And also how to make sure that if there is an agreement that the feature, the PR merging _will_ follow and will not be "forgotten". As for the technicalities, part of my PR was a separate Image.pod dedicated just for this aspect, so that perlpod.pod could just refer to that file, if anything. -- Sincerely, Dmitry Karasik
