For my own part, correctness is an *extremely* important goal for a software project that wants to thrive over time. And things that violate correctness or the principal of least surprise should go. They limit future development efforts and scare away end-users and decision makers. I will gladly accept a deprecation cycle if this turns out to be something core devs believe is important. _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.grokbase.com/group/[email protected]
