When does the specification of perl6 come to an end? Are there criteria
or milestones which define that the perl6 specification stage is at an end?
I can see that setting a time line is not easy because the effort is
volunteer based, but what about a conceptual end?
Perhaps there could be a

You could make a very similar argument

Hm, it might actually be a good idea to port the code examples from
the Exegeses to current Perl6, preferably also runnable in Pugs. The
ported programs could be put under examples/ in
or include a disclaimer that they are outdated as juerd sugested,
or do both. anyway this is an issue since google finds the A and E first.
im really intrested if im with juerd the only one here seeing this as an
issue.

At a guess: when it's implemented.
Many of the recent changes have been made by Larry in response to his
trying to write the grammer, and encountering problems.
Perhaps there could be a perl6.0 specification,

It seems you are presuming a Waterfall model of development here.

The implementors want the same thing.
