Mostly.

There are some core developers we have yet to meet, and some core
developers who have yet to look at the Perl sources.  For future
contributors, retracted RFCs demonstrate why some ideas are incredibly
unperlish.  And that helps keep Perl perlish, instead of adopting 
every feature from every other language out there simply because
they exist.
