Hi Jenda,

Afaict you are not particularly interested in development of Perl 6, NQP, MoarVM, v5, etc and you think that I should not mention "it" until it's "done". I hear that. However, I don't see things the same way you do, and it's clear that monks in general are supportive of me posting (based on votes), even if many are simply ignoring me. I urge you to just ignore my posts.

In case anyone is confused about the issues Jenda raised:

if they are one week from passing all tests

NQP on MoarVM is not a week away from passing the NQP testsuite. At a guess I'd say it'll be a few years before NQP passes 100% of its test suite on MoarVM.

Could it be that they are not so sure about the {estimate}

jnthn is a top notch dev. He's repeatedly demonstrated that he's good at estimates during the 2 years I've been following #perl6 daily. The same goes for most of the key P6 devs. (The big exception that proves the rule, and which perhaps taught jnthn an important lesson, was the nom refactor of 2011/2012. This took far longer than the team hoped, not least because Patrick, the lead dev of Rakudo, all but stopped working on P6 from 2011 till now leaving jnthn to finish the nom refactor on his own.)
