For context, rurban has had a long-ongoing feud with the perl5 maintainers that eventually resulted in his removal from the mailing list for being unwilling or unable to disagree sufficiently civilly to hold an effective discussion when people felt he was technically incorrect.

He's also, OTOH, a technically brilliant developer whose positive contributions will be missed.

(also if you ever run into him at a conference, I'd recommend grabbing a beer with him, I've always enjoyed doing so in spite of our spirited disagreements over various things)
