This seems strongly reasonable to me, and i thank you for making an  
absolutely clear statement on the matter.

 From this going forward, it'll be easy for everyone to know what's at  
stake, seriously consider whether they wish DBIx::Class to be the riba  
fork or the team fork, and state so when the opinions are tallied.

I am particularly pleased be the fact that the question is just one of  
naming, and not one of blocking one of them from existence.
