So, we listened to our users, and we did what the users asked us to do.

If you truly believe that the best solution to that is to tell all of the people who trusted you to produce a usable distribution with a working subset of Perl 6 that they should wait a year and a half for a new release which will fix some of the problems and in the meantime they should either continue to use old releases (when you bother to make them) or try to run things on an unstable branch with no concrete release schedule and plenty of regressions, but you'll still insist every time it comes up that Rakudo is actually usable for real work, and why don't they try it now, this time you mean it, then we're clearly on different planets with regard to this subject, and I suspect that I've reached the limits of my ability to communicate.

I also suspect that a usable Perl 6—in terms of a product I can rely on to do real work—is years away, though I hope you prove me wrong.
