[Dbix-class] Moving Forward

[Chase Whitener]

Hi Darren,

You certainly have a point about the state of the current release;
I'll absolutely concede your point that there's no current rush to
replace the current CPAN release. This current state of stability
could suddenly change and the uncertainty in the maintenance of the
distribution is a vey bad thing in and of itself.

It takes a lot of evangelizing on my part at work and other places to
get people on board with Perl; let's not allow this to go on for too
long to etch away at the good will I and others try to impart on a
daily basis.

Thanks,
Chase
