Sure, I get your point!

AFAIK, one of the selling points of the "Raku" name was that it could be used to disassociate the language from Perl, which has some stigma (IMHO unwarranted, obviously ;-) ). New people coming to "Raku" in the future may be only vaguely aware of its history, or not at all, and so it might be confusing to them that "you can ask Raku questions on this site called PerlMonks", that's all.

And we have many slightly off topic discussions here around JavaScript, SQL or Python. So why should Raku - which is far closer to Perl 5 - be a problem?

It's not a problem - but we normally tag OT posts as such, and the [perl6] tag has been suggested and used several times for Perl 6 posts, so why not [raku] instead?
