Not just one set of criteria, but lots of sets of criteria. Some of these sets have already gone from showing a "no" flag to showing a "yes" flag in the past few years. Lots of other sets will switch over in the next couple of years. Our challenge as a Perl 6 community is to attract those people whose criteria makes Perl 6 interesting enough, so that they can help making Perl 6 useful for even more people, by using it, reporting bugs, writing tutorials, blogging about it, etc. This process is *already* self-maintaining and snowballing, but we can consciously help boost it in various ways. But this is why when you ask the "production-ready" question, you'll not get a short, straight answer but a long one like this one. :) // Carl
