I think anything that's in that sort of vicinity is likely to be a big enough set of changes that it'll (a) need to wait until whatever new administration we end up with is settled in (b) need a decent RFC process and advance discussion of the risk/reward trade-offs involved. After all, when I say "big-ass job" I'm generally not kidding about that, and at this point it looks like it's not only going to be a big-ass job, but a big-ass job we're going to have to conduct without the help of the person I was relying on being the other half of the architecture team for it. So, I mean, "cool" but also "this is going to need serious discussion" and especially "please don't get your hopes up about 'near term'". -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our CPAN commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team. _______________________________________________ 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
