| -test suite, and is now maintained in a separate repository. |

|
6 | 3 | Its purpose is to validate implementations that wish to be known
|
7 | 4 | as a conforming Perl 6 implementation.

| -Please consider this test suite to be the result |
10 |
| -of an ongoing negotiation: since many of these tests are inspired |
11 |
| -by seeing how the various prototype implementations are screwed up |
12 |
| -(or even more likely, how the design of Perl 6 is screwed up), this |
13 |
| -test suite should be considered a work in progress until one or more |
14 |
| -of the implementations gets close to passing the entire test suite, |
15 |
| -at which point we will freeze version 6.0 of the test suite, and any |
16 |
| -implementation that passes it can then call itself Perl 6. |
| 6 | +Please consider this test suite to be the bleeding edge of Perl 6 |
| 7 | +development. New tests, tests for experimental new features, etc. |
| 8 | +will live on this branch. Once a specification is cut, a branch |
| 9 | +will be created for that version of the spec, e.g. 6.c for Christmas. |

|
19 | 12 | different states of readiness with respect to the test suite, so
