I don't see anything in the notes (though I may have missed it) about JVM. I thought the plan was to get JVM functional again (though likely still lagging MoarVM feature support) with the 2017.07 release?
Perl 6 on MoarVM is definitely interesting but, to me at least, the single biggest practical impact or Rakudo was that it is (or was) supposed to run on JVM (allowing usage of any other libs on JVM and, probably more importantly, making it easier to convince management to allow using it).
