This puts the focus on what actually is standing in the way. > Feel free to post this instruction that took me all of 2 minutes to > write The amount of time it took is not so relevant here, given that we (potentially) have to live with the result for some time more. The problem we're facing is that the change stems from a pause policy change, not from a MakeMaker change. So the resolution should be provided by the pause gears. Additional documentation changes in other places may be helpful but the main course of action for me was now the email we're sending out. > That would save a lot of people a lot of grief. not everything has to > be all 1990's cryptic perl monks foo bar baz references. > Context is everything.
