Not to worry Sam, I don't believe this fork will result in a situation any worse 
than what we have now.  This fork will not cause Perl's ORMs to all become mediocre.

Also, DBIx::Class is not the only good ORM for Perl.  I would say that at least 
Rose::DB also qualifies as a good alternative; they both continue to be 
maintained and I have used both.  Besides which, we don't really want a 
mono-culture situation.  As good as DBIx::Class or Rose::DB or etc are, there is 
always room for a new entry to come out that is better than either.
