I think the time spent developing it is a big problem. The new features are still informally specified or incomplete. Technically it is just starting from scratch with something Perlesque and adding features we all like but in an ad-hoc fashion, but this seems to be the Perl way. Throwing backwards compatibility away is convenient for them but I suspect a large part of reason for using Perl is because there's a lot of code in it already (CPAN), not because it's such a great language. It supports a trivial type system (that is optional, which defies the point if you ask me). Junctions are a curiosity that can be implemented with mere lists or classes in the rare case that one needed such a thing. Again, ad-hoc special cases. Aiming at multiple implementations is disregarding Perl 5's single-implementation strength. The Lisps aimed at mulitple implementations and look at the state of them.
