I concur with the move from a monolithic PDL to a more agile PDLA on github.
My original thought was to finish 64-bit support a a couple of other key items under the old "kitchen sink" model of release and then that would transition to PDLA. The original PDLA was demonstrated before the 64-bit data support for PDL was implemented. @Ed: do you think it is worth a "bitrot fix" release of the old PDL process before the transition to an equivalent PDLA and end-of-lifing the old model at PDL-2.020? On another note, I am not able to devote the time to support PDL as the release manager and will be retiring from that responsibility. This PDL->PDLA transition would be a good point for that to happen.
