Which is basically why we are planning not to produce one of these. I think we should concentrate on 1 and 3.
I know. In that case, I think venders are liable to be lazy or peeved and ship option 1 or worse, nothing. Is the answer really supposed to be CPAN or no library? Is there a plan to at least have stable snapshots of CPAN? Sorry to be a pest on this, but the implications actually scare me about things I didn't worry about before because I had confidence that they would be addressed in 'the library'. Maybe I just need to sit and meditate some more.
