I'm glad that the Catalyst community will have a nice standalone high  
performance HTTP engine for Catalyst, but I'm sorry to loose the POE  
engine.

the POE engine is actually very useful, not for its performance  
characteristics, but because it allows us to easily include Catalyst  
applications inside POE applications.

So please, create your new engine, I'm sure we will all appreciate  
it, but do not kill the POE engine.

I would be willing to keep on working on it myself.

Best regards,
