Thank you. I do want to stress that I, despite my doubts and criticisms in this thread, appreciate all the time and effort you've put into S26. It is *because* I want the best for that synopsis that I brought up the above. Whether the ownership thing was actual or perceived -- and your email indicates the latter -- it did put S26 very much outside of the flow of piecemeal improvements that we take for granted in the other spec files. > By all means put the latest update on the repo (or maybe remove S26 > entirely), and start redesigning it collaboratively. I now put the latest update on the repo. > Please note that I am not in any way upset, angry, petulant, or > otherwise disaffected. I only want the very best for every aspect of > Perl 6.

Again, thanks for your efforts so far. The discussions over the years have shown at least me what an ungrateful task it is to be redesigning Pod for Perl 6. // Carl
