It would help us to release a little less frequently, more than one
release in a week leaves little time for the package to mature.

If we weren't in the freeze for bullseye this would not allow the
package to migrate to testing for inclusion in the next stable release
before the new version is uploaded to unstable.

The larger PDL ecosystem does not see such rapid development (or any
recent release at all), perhaps you can help add support for newer PDL
features to the various libpdl-*-perl packages. Only the packages for
PDL::Graphics::Gnuplot, PDL::LinearAlgebra, and PDL::VectorValued have
has recent releases too.

Kind Regards,

Bas
