I missed that thread. What was the subject? Module::Build doesn't
need YAML at all (though authors really should have it to generate a
fleshed-out META.yml). And the current development version should
work fine with current versions of YAML. I don't think anybody is
suggesting putting 0.2611 in the core, and I for one wouldn't mind
seeing the battle-testing that would result from putting 0.27_* in the
core happen before 0.28 is released.
I'd really really really like to have a while to hammer on 0.28, since
it's been 8 months since the last Module::Build release, and what exists
now is surely better than what I have to play with now.
Developer releases are only useful to a point.
Andreas has 345 Perl installations on his server, and I'm starting to
assemble my "every production Perl on every production platform" matrix
based on his work.
And I'd class that as appropriate _training_ for "battle conditions",
which would throw up even more stuff.
And if we can clear Module::Build on 400-500 installations of Perl, I'd
feel much more comfortable about seeing it head towards the core.
