Not sure about "content" but certainly less miffed. I'm content that PHP exists just so long as I don't have to have anything to do with it. :-)
Tomasz Konojacki has referred to that "fundamentally important part of the system" as a "misfeature" that he would like to see "completely removed".
I notice that Tomasz gives neither evidence nor rationale for this "misfeature" claim. Given your recall of Larry's view I am quite happy to be in his camp rather than in Tomasz's.

Not in that discussion, no. However if you go back to the original referenced post there is at least some support. Steffen himself says (his emphasis):
I would NOT want this to be the default behaviour, but having this an
option could be a boon to people like my employer, who run Perl on
thousands of machines and capacity is as important as latency.
And later ...
And while I'm at it: You distribution people out there: Don't ship a
perl without taint support by default!
There were a few others in the Larry/Hippo camp back then including Tux and Reini. But perhaps I will badger the p5p echo chamber with my opinions again now so they don't think it is obsolete.
