As one of the few rabid Mac users on this list, let me just say that I personally have no problem with classic Mac OS support being totally dropped from Parrot if it'll get stuff out the door sooner :) Classic Mac OS is (somewhat sadly) a dead OS at this point. By the time Parrot is "done", Apple will probably be shipping hardware that won't even *boot* classic Mac OS outside of a virtual machine in OS X. (Also, I'd be much happier if those resources could be redirected to making sure Perl 6, apache, mod_perl, etc. all builds as easily on OS X as they do on, say, Solaris...but now I'm just whining ;) (Apache::Request-less on OS X, 7 months and counting...) -John
