A while ago I decided not to fight a battle to get any module into core. I am still not sure I have the willpower for the fight. But I have gotten several requests from people such as Paul Evans (LeoNerd) to bring Test2::Suite into Core. There has been some call to let people use Test2::Suite, which contains most of the stuff that makes Test2 useful, in CORE for a while now. So, I am going to get the ball rolling. I am in favor of Test2::Suite being in core. Obviously this needs a discussion, and best I can tell that should happen here and not a PPC since I am not proposing syntax changes? In any case, after talking to LeoNerd and Haarg, I have stripped down the non-core deps as much as possible. The only non-core dep that is not optional is Term::Table which was written specifically for Test2::Suite, and Test2::Suite is not viable without it. All other non-core deps are optional. So the following 2 cpan dists would need to be pulled in: 1. Test2::Suite 2. Term::Table I will respond to technical questions. But I am not going to engage in the political back and forth that often happens in these discussions. If the group decides it goes to Core I am ready and willing to take on everything that comes with making it Dual Life, as I already do with Test-Simple. If the group decides not to do this, I will leave it to others to argue the point, and I will abide by the final decision. Thank you, Chad GranumThread Next
