I don't believe there is anyone on the TC who is arguing that perl
doesn't (or at least didn't) have a DFSG issue.[1]
We merely believe the TC does not have the power to make a decision for
the ftpmasters without being delegated that decision. We can help try to
clarify the issue for the ftpmasters and the project, but the bully
pulpit (up to and including §6.1.5) is the only special power we think
we have in this area.
1: I just looked into this yesterday, and was amazed at how complicated
the Configure regeneration process was. It even seems to depend on being
run by a specific user.
