BrowserUk,
Six months ago, a regular commiter to p5p suggested Easter was a likely date. In a conversation I had with demerphq and avar the other day, it seems like there is no big rush to finish developing. I tried to explain my perspective:

For those using and contributing to bleed, it probably doesn't seem like a big deal. There are folks though that are in a position that their shop won't adopt a new version of perl until it has been out a year or more. These are the folks that are suffering. It doesn't matter how simple a new feature is or how little risk it has, if you don't draw a line in the sand and say "that's it", you will never stop developing.

I want it yesterday. I explained that this doesn't mean I am interested in rushing a product that isn't ready. It means that I am willing to miss out on whatever great ideas developers have until the next release and would like a code freeze for the purposes of producing a stable and well tested release now.

Cheers - L~R
