I'd like to second David's comment that an ideal outcome here would be consensus. DBIx::Class has historically run on consensus among the team, wherein my position as founder and then riba's as chainsaw delegate were only ever used to tiebreak rather than to enforce, and I believe that's a valuable tradition to retain.
Peter, please be assured that I'm not a priori objecting to your current plan - after all, I have no basis upon which do so, given I don't as yet have any idea what it is. While I would not, under normal circumstances, default to having this conversation on a public list, given xdg's "consideration for the potential successor" point amongst others, if that's what Peter feels necessary to be able to share his thoughts, I'm mostly just happy that we're going to get the opportunity to have the conversation. -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our CPAN commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.
