I did say MST RFC:MUST be respected. :P This is only here because of you. I was an early CDBI user and was there for the fights over its direction and saw you as the voice of reason, patience, and vision. Regardless of work done since, I see you as the owner. I was unaware there was as much of a schism as there apparently is.
I don't know which approach is better. I feel the "permanent development ban" you assert is misrepresenting the situation. I haven't done any dev work here for years though so my opinion must be heavily salted to be palatable. You speak of this situation killing DBIC. I thought it was dying for a bit there a few years back and even started exploring doing my own version. DBIC feels more vital now than it had for quite some time. On the other hand, maybe it could experience another renaissance if the gates reopen to more and easier development. So, I don't know. I do think it should be solved between lead devs (past and present). There is apparently too much the peanut gallery doesn't know and this is a practical not a theoretical discussion so only those involved have truly valid opinions. _______________________________________________ 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/dbix-class@lists.scsys.co.uk
