Maybe what's so frustrating to me, and perhaps to chromatic, and whoever else ignores CPAN Testers but doesn't discuss it, is that we're being fed things that we should be thankful for and goddammit why aren't we appreciative??!?

"Here are the things that we have determined are quality."

"Here are test reports reporting on failures for these things that we care about you caring about."

Again, this is CPANTS, not CPAN Testers.

"Maybe you should add a co-maintainer."

"Your responsibility as an author is to..."

These are not in test reports. They were in this thread. And they're suggestions to you. Do what you want with them.

There is far too much bile floating in this thread considering that I believe we all have a shared interest in the quality of our code.

Best,

David
