Well, I hadn't heard of Catalyst at that time, so I didn't have much say in the matter. That said, the reasoning for the name change, I believe, was because there was a nice falling out between the people working on Catalyst, you, and the PAUSE admins. In order to ensure that the Catalyst Core Team would continue to have the ability to update Catalyst without your permission, which you refused to give, Catalyst had to be renamed (PAUSE indexer technicality). If you had just turned over permission immediately and irrevocably, then a rename wouldn't have been necessary. In fact, the View::TT maintainership was never given to the Core Team, and that's why TT has had that annoying "Coldn't render ... " bug for so long. We wanted to fix it, but we didn't have Your Holy Permission to do so. Details: http://lists.rawmode.org/pipermail/catalyst/2006-May/007250.html Anyway, I find it interesting that you have to ask me why the rename happened. It seems from that thread and other evidence that you were slightly involved.

This is a common complaint on IRC and PM, so I'd like to resolve it. I know search.cpan isn't the ideal source of current documentation, but lots of people use it for that, and I'd like to help them if possible. If that's not possible, I'd like to be able to explain why not. This is about all I have to say on the matter. Flamewars are a real drain on the community, and I'm sorry that I have to subject them to this. Hopefully I'll be able to shut up and life will move on as normal. :) However, if you'd like to tell the community that you're hurting them for personal reasons (linking, revenge), then please do. It'd be better if you just fixed the fucking problem and moved on.
