Well, I'd rather stay out of it for reasons riba basically already made clear, but my thoughts are at the end of https://blog.afoolishmanifesto.com/posts/open-source-infrastructure-and-dbix-class-diagnostics-improvements/ , written quite a while ago.
I am content with Riba's plan, though am skeptical he could find a person living who can replace him. Not to offend the various people who could, but the combination of intelligence, caution, and knowledge of the project itself, and motivation is going to be hard to pass along, though I'd love to be proven wrong. Not to be overly negative but I also don't think what any of us do about this will make a difference. I will be astounded if there is another major DBIC release in the year after ribasushi leaves. That gives the community and pause admins plenty of time to act after the fact. -- sent from a rotary phone, pardon my brevity
