We've all been pretty good about things so far, but I do want to remind 
folks to take a look at the bigger picture when they're deciding on 
features (or mis-features... :) of Parrot.

First, and most importantly, the following should be considered "cast in 
stone" things. (In the long run, *not* at the moment)

   * On-disk bytecode files
   * Documented public APIs for embedders and extension writers
   * The assembly language

Or, basically, anything in a PDD.

Things that are *not* cast in stone:

   * All the source

So, while critiques of the source as it currently stands are *very* welcome 
(no, really, they are!), it's best to not assume that the final interpreter 
will use the code you think is nasty now. (Of course, pointing out (and 
fixing, though that's optional) the problems helps fix them)
