[Dbix-class] A slightly more concrete proposal

2016-10-04 Thread Matt S Trout
Since people seem to be unsure as to what the alternative to riba's project freeze would actually be, let me provide something a little more concrete. This is intended as a basis for discussion rather than a complete plan, but I thought it was worth at least sketching a shape for things to come.

Hello, all. I don't talk here much, because of the excellent work done by the DBIC teams over the years. I've read along and learned a lot, though, and used DBIC professionally. First, thank you to mst, Ribasushi, and all the other contributors for their hard work in stabilizing DBIC and

I and the company I work for are a heavy user of DBIC. We consider it's well being and stability to have been amazing so far. Having largely single developer maintain the project has always amazed me, and as great as some of the results have been in the past, it doesn't look like it's really a
