We often use words that have different shades of meanings for different
people/situations, eg., what is a 'short' time? Consider how a child
might answer,
I know PM does not like the word 'stability' for language development,
and I have just posted a response to Wendell Hatcher's question
justifying Patrick's approach.
However, some other questions arose when I was considering 'usability',
which Patrick sets as a goal for Rakudo *, as opposed

Not really a versioned dependencies.
When a working module is updated to have new functionality, the old
version continues to work.
Here it is the very language that is changing.
For instance, =$fh was used to generate input from a file. Now it is
