Hidden agenda? o.O (Score:1)
Hidden agenda? Hogwash.
My impression is that chromatic has been quite clear and forthright with his intentions. He has looked at how the Perl 5 project has been managed, done some root cause analysis, and proposed some improvements to the process based on what his own experiences have found working well.
Nothing wrong with that. I fact, we should thank chromatic for bothering to look at something that very few open source projects consider at all.

He provided crappy and stupid advice, and when told to shut up, politely at the time, he opened a blog to yell louder.
No thanks for being stubborn, sorry.

Why not?
What if he's right?

Well, if he's right, then all of the people who have experience in maintaining perl 5 are wrong. Which seems very, very, unlikely, no?
Re:Hidden agenda? o.O (Score:2)
No, I don't think that logic follows whatsoever. It's entirely possible that the way that Perl 5 has been doing things for years is not as good as the way(s) that chromatic is suggesting. What's more, what I've read of chromatic's arguments make sense.
