Back in April, Reini expressed a desire to keep perl_vendor, claiming that it is the easiest solution for both user and maintainer [1]. Whilst there are some of us who might question this, Reini has vastly more knowledge and experience of perl than I ever will have. So when Reini states that there are good reasons why perl_vendor should stay, I am prepared to respect his judgement. As our perl maintainer wishes to keep perl_vendor, any discussion to the contrary seems somewhat academic. Dave. [1] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2014-04/msg00015.html
