I dont think its a matter of "no big rush". I think we would all like to see Perl 5.10 released soon. However releasing is a big responsibility, and nobody wants to see Perl 5.10 go out the door followed by huge panic and a new release soon after. In addition we dont want to put it out the door half baked. Given probable release dates for a 5.12 certain things we do in Perl 5.10 have to be close enough to right to last for some time (possibly forever). (In this area im speaking of the regex engine interface).

Also do remember that we are volunteers, nobody is getting paid for hacking on Perl right now to the best of my knowledge, so any rush that is going to happen will have to coexist with the rest of our lives.

So rgs will release it when its in a state that he is comfortable with and that suits him. And I dont blame him, its a huge responsibility. :-)
