For me, it's a question of unlearning/relearning new features that are in flux. I wish someone would say "right... this version does these things, which will not change, be re-thought, or be re-designed. More features may be added but these *will* stay as they are".
In other words, I'm not holding off because the software is not stable, but I am looking for stable *semantics*.
[I also realise it's been a while since I tracked perl 6 closely enough to know if that is still a problem; apologies if not -- just correct me right here please!]
