Ah. Remember that discussions with core aren't echoed to the remainder of the plebiscite; a few words to this effect would have done a lot for my blood pressure. Please note that I _do_ understand the issue regarding things like Tcl that mutate between versions; my stance is not that any particular version of Tcl/Perl/whatever is _the_ right one, merely that their status as basic system tools should be recognised and respected. > (Actually, that's a tiny lie -- PHK is demanding that I move perl4 out > to ports too, but I refused to do it until we nuke the perl system > utilities.)
