Well, I'm not sure how else I can interpret riba's call for a 'project
freeze', especially given that in

http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/dbix-class/2016-October/012210.html

he appears to feel that the previous contributors attempting to continue
the project is "the worst possible direction, one I worked really hard to
save this codebase from."

Of course, it would help if he'd elaborate on his plan; so far, sadly,
he's expended a lot more words explaining why his future plans for
DBIx::Class aren't the contributors' or users' business than he has
explaining what said plans actually are. Hopefully that will change.
