The answer to both your questions is "yes". There certainly exists someone who knows there is no timeline for the release of Perl 6. And it is months away--we just don't know how many.

But we're pretty happy with how it's been going lately, because a number of us are insane about making it work. Perl 6 has been making a lot of progress in being Good and Fast. If it gets any Cheaper, though, we'll starve to death...

Seriously, we're pedaling as hard we can, and in some cases harder than we can. We'll get there.
