I think we're better off shooting for 6.0.0 not getting in the way in spots we're not sure of, rather than perfection.

Releasing a language with the caveat "but we've missed out lots of important functions that we expect to add in the next version or four" strikes me as a little odd.
I fully expect that the keyword list will be closed off for rather a long time, though, once 6.0.0 has been released, so perhaps energy would be better directed in figuring out how to make something like purge (and its syntactic cousins) work as an add-on?
