    IIRC many of those open issues/tickets are requests for half-baked features that are being rejected because that are out-of-scope for DBIx::Class. The developers could not get an agreement over the threshold of feature-complete and then the owner put a brake on development, which I completely understand from a burn-out perspective: you don't want to lead a team that is only in disagreement.

    I share Corion's view.

    I do not see an easy way-out of this dilemma.

    In addition to what tux said, they aren't all bugs. The distinction being that rt is primarily a bug tracker not a support forum.

    Yet people still use it. Idk how many are new users and how many are using it with existing applications; but I am of the camp with those who don't use ORMs. Some people love them, and it's not usually the people that I expect. It's only failing 1 of 240 tests as I write this. I suspect something else will come out with class available in core now, anyway.

      The point is, it's not just about "what other features does it need?" I haven't gone through the list myself, but I have to suppose that at least some of the tickets are legit bugs. So I can totally see the OP's concern.
