For bystanders and future readers of this thread:

If you want to do something interesting with Moose, we will be glad to help
you, even if it's difficult or Moose doesn't support it very well yet or
whatever.

If you want to do something questionable with Moose, we will help you if it's
clear that you know why it's questionable.

If you want to do something that we think is a bug, telling us that it's a
matter of personal style will not help your cause.

Code we give people will come back on us later -- "I got this code from the
mailing list and made changes, but it doesn't work, why not?"  That's a strong
incentive for us not to enable anyone else to write buggy or even just fragile
code.

Also, we do this for fun.  If you want someone to do only exactly what you tell
them to, hire an intern.

hdp.
