Your argument works great at an individual level but it is a PR disaster. At one end trying to sell Perl to world arguing about Modern Perl, regular release cycles etc. Its even difficult for others to convince their bosses/colleagues other fellow programmers about Perl 6 and its future. You tell me one reason any body sitting next to me should think about Perl 6 if he has no guarantee of seeing it come through in the near future(Unless of course the guy feels extremely passionate about it, and such need not have to convinced anyway). Perl evangelism has become fighting against a Mob these days. Regardless of whether its Reddit, HN or even other places. Ridicule, laugh and sarcasm is all you get... To make it worst we seem to live in denial.
