The goal is to avoid everyone using a different not fully compatible version of everything. Like in perl 5 with the bunch of different ways to do objects, signatures etc. Pilling good things on top of each others rather than aiming for an elegant design is what I consider the core idea of Perl. Being able to add language features removes most benefits of a simple design (easy to create tool support).
