I think you misread him. He meant that RT (a ticket/issue system in Perl) is overkill for 90% of projects that use it. There's no reason to downvote him. His statement was fine.

He's talking about migration of Perl's ticket system (RT) to GitHub Issues. Fortunately, he did not say RT is overkill for 90% of projects using it; that would not be correct. Projects using RT tend to be using it because it's not overkill for them, they need it. In fact, I agree with his opinion that RT is likely overkill for 90% of projects. My point is that Perl is not among the 90% that RT would be overkill for. His overall comment's conclusion is mistaken, because for Perl, moving from RT to GitHub issues would be "a downgrade". GitHub Issues are not "just right" for a complex project like Perl that actively uses the metadata capabilities of a ticket tracking system like RT.
