I think of this the same way I think of "Do not drink even if you mix with
beer" labels on bleach bottles. Stupid people often remove their genes from
the pool. We should not discourage stupid business practices from doing the
same.
Releasing a language without a useful, easily installable library bundle
could quite reasonably be construed as a stupid business practice.
I do hope that Perl6 doesn't do this, but a) I don't think it's very likely,
and b) some organization or company will rapidly release a useful
Bundle:: (or Task:: or whatever it's called in Perl6) to fill in the gap.
