I am opening this ticket as a way of logging various Parrot hackers'
efforts to re-factor Parrot::Distribution, its ancestors and its
tests. Discussion in this ticket should respond, among other things,
to issues raised in the Perl 6 internals thread "What is intended use
of Parrot::Distribution?" begun by Elizabeth Mattijsen on March 3
2007: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.internals/2007/03/
msg36616.html.
I have posted in that thread and will post additional notes I've made
since then to this ticket. But I don't yet have a particular
approach to this refactoring for which I'm advocating. Let's hear
everybody's suggestions.
