I think you're rewriting history.

Rakudo's spent half of its life thinking about switching away from the one platform where it runs at all to another platform which may or may not even work out. I wanted to deploy Perl 6 to actual paying customers.

I'm sure the developers are having fun, but from the potential user point of view, it's a waste of my time to worry about when the software will actually reach a deployable state. The project's history suggests that's not a priority.
