But did they say *why* they are so insistent that 5.8.0 is not feasible? [such as house policy on not using .0 versions? time taken to assess and approve releases meaning that approving 5.8.0 is a lot of effort? Something specific they don't like about 5.8.0?] Basically is there something that the perl development community needs to do (or change) that would avoid this in future?
