Out of curiosity (because I think it will illuminate some of the difficulty
Rakudo devs have in declaring something to be a "production release"):
- What constitues a "production release"?
- What was the first production release of Perl 4?
- What was the first production release of Perl 5?
- What was the first production release of Linux?
- At what point was each of the above declared a "production release";
was it concurrent with the release, or some time afterwards?
