For the past several years, Peter Rabbitson justified certain decisions he made by referring to enterprise/corporate users who'd talk to him privately about DBIx::Class and their desires for the future.
Sadly, given the current situation, he preserved your privacy/off-the-record-ness by refusing to tell any of the other developers who you were or what you'd said. If you're one of said publically silent enterprise users, then I say now: You are valued, and while I prefer things to be done publically where possible, I'd be willing to sign an NDA if that's the requirement for us to get started figuring out how your needs wrt DBIx::Class can also be addressed. Obviously I'll want to figure out from there how to turn any problems you have into something we can talk about publically, but I have no issue with signing an NDA so we can look at your situation and discuss together how to move forwards on the things you find important.
