in thread RFC: Should join subsume reduce?

Is it your position that there should be no new features added to Perl5?
Is that an unreasonable position? Tread Perl5 as the stable branch of the language, and Perl6 as the experimental/growing version. It's not like the whole "reduce -> join" thing adds a whole lot of extra usability. Why tinker with a good thing? Am I missing something?

    Tread Perl5 as the stable branch of the language, and Perl6 as the experimental/growing version.

    I cannot agree with per5 / perl6 in the above statement, however, perl5.8 / perl5.101 I could agree with. Perl 6 is still being defined.

    1 - I hope I got the current numbers correct. I am currently stuck (due to vendor libraries) at 5.6.
