I'd also rather have 1.10 than 2.0. Hopefully someone will push the mplock out of the network stack for 2.0 at the start of next year. That would be great. Imagine: new file system, syslink, LWP/1:1 userland threading and network stack without BGL. This would surely be worth 2.0 and would make it quite big in press. Petr
