Well, I hadn't heard of Catalyst at that time, so I didn't have much say in
the matter.
Maybe it would be more productive to let the developers that made the
change answer then?
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.
Thats completely untrue, the split (and renaming) happened in July,
http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/catalyst/2006-July/008611.html
but the permissions were solved back in May.

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.
View::TT was never part of the core dist (and in turn the agreement),
why would i just give away all my Perl modules?
That bug you mention was caused by your changes to the Catalyst
internals if i remember correctly...

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.
Hopefully this description refreshes your memory.
If only you had read it...
P.S.: Do i get flamed because i mentioned in #catalyst that i'm using
Ruby for now until Perl6 gets released? :(
