+Thanks for posting this that interview is very interesting.
+It would be great if we could have Rafael Garcia-Suarez contributing to
+Mageia.
+Does anyone know what he does these days?
+
+This quote is particularly interesting:
+
+"Rafael: Not all tools were always written in Perl. However using
+consistently a same language allows to share and reuse libraries across
+all tools, be it the perl/rpmlib bindings or custom graphical toolboxes.
+Thus, for example, the OS installer shares code with urpmi and rpmdrake. A
+scripting language was preferred because of rapidity of development and
+ease of debug -- attempts at writing rpmdrake in C were painful, although
+that was before I was hired by Mandrakesoft. Perl was a natural choice
+since there were already very good in-house skills for it."
