There still seems to be some confusion within the community as to what is actually going on here. A Static Archive of rt.cpan.org, I've posted a few comments asking the question and linking to the topicbox thread, but none have been approved by the author yet. Is there a definitive statement anywhere? rt.cpan still shows the sunset message when browsing, there seems to be no link to topicbox in any of perl.org or perl releases that I can find. Some clarity would be much appreciated.
