I actually do tend to agree with you, but I thought the "minimal change"
proposal had some merit, so I thought it deserved an RFC.  Just because I
wrote the RFC doesn't mean I endorse that plan over some other one.

Perhaps I should say that explicitly in the RFC

This resolves very few of the IMHO rather serious issues I
have found with the current license.  The Perl community is
unlikely to have such a good opportunity again for years if
not decades.  If a good solution can be decided on, now is
clearly the time to do it.
