The majority generally do not pay attention, and also hate it when their view of the universe is threatened by facts.
Perl will continue to have it's place, as do Fortran, COBOL, etc. It wasn't my first language, and isn't my last, but it's still my bread and butter. Despite using it for 20 years, there are still some things that are idiomatic AWK for me. I'm sure it will be the same way with Perl, even after I've used Ruby or Python for a long time.

Are you using 5.16.2? Are you using Moose/Mouse/Moo for complex data types and/or object oriented programming.?
Perl is alive and well.
If you think of 5 as being a syntax identifier, then you might be pleased to see all of the development that's gone on since Perl 4 gave way to Perl 5.
It sounds a little bit like you're complaining that Perl's development has not followed your idea of semantic version numbering.
You're not eating the cost of burning releases to media. Push early, push often, but have a rock solid, bulletproof rollback mechanism.
Seriously, that's what staging is for. push it, roll it back, push it, roll it back. Since you don't have to stick to a golden master, media reproduction schedule, push a feature as soon as it is ready.
If your organization can't get past big quarterly releases, then they will not succeed with more nimble competition. The organization has to adapt. So wither the management adapts, or gets replaced.

Your correlation is interesting. How about mine?
Cycling is not popular in countries/areas with a high per capita rate of car ownership. In those places, right of ways are designed for automobiles, without thought given to cycling traffic. The bias against safe pathways for cycles continues to depress the rate of cycling. In areas of high car ownership, but with safe cycle-ways, there is more cycling than in those without such ways.
This story sounds a lot like how our government treats our war veterans here in the USA. "Thanks for your service. We're sort of sorry that you're not feeling well. Please go away."

Offices are part of the building, are therefore considered an asset, and the cost to build it depreciates with the building, over 25 years.
Cubicles are considered "Office Furniture" and depreciate at a much faster rate (7 years?), or you rent them and they end up on the balance sheet as a cost rather than an asset.
You don't get an office because you don't rate high enough in the chain to be worth 25-year, prolonged depreciation for your work space.
I think the reason so many fans are going to feel this is that the show started off as a badass mob series that attracted viewers of a certain nature who enjoy living a vicarious life of crime.
This show started off as a show about a mobster who's mother had driven him to panic attacks. It was not really until the actress playing Livia Soprano died that the show really took its turn into badass mob series. It was the quirk of a mobster in therapy that drew me to the show. It made for interesting drama.
Unfortunately, the ending just wasn't juicy enough to satiate that kind of appetite and I think that's why you'll hear so much about this. Personally, I liked it although I recognize that too many questions were left unanswered, too many futures were left uncertain & too many problems were left unresolved.
You have to give credit where its due. They sure as hell created massive tension in the last 5 minutes with all the cuts between the family at the table, the guy at the counter, meadow trying to parallel park, the other customers in the diner. The cut to black left me sitting in my dark living room, with my heart racing. It was a great ending. Life is tense. Life goes on. Life sucks, then you die. Shit happens. Shit fails to happen. Resolution is for the lucky.
That was significantly better than a climactic gun fight, a last second hit, a wake-up from a dream, or, heaven help us, an animal-house-style what-happens-to-the-characters montage.
Go black. Never go back.
Ciao Tony Soprano. Thanks. It was fun while it lasted.
