I thought we had already agreed to the sf390 merge in #pdl but your emails seem to suggest not.

This is important and why the plan to spin out the non-intrinsic parts of the current PDL distribution into separate module distributions. It seems to me that the current git approach generates some of these problems because it does not allow for rapid development while maintaining stability. This awkwardness should still be mitigated by moving to the smaller PDL Core + External modules.
