    Apparently less so with all the new ARM builders, right? Is this
    something
    you're saying could be improved, or is it just something we always
    need to
    budget time for?


The perl upgrade process is some what manual and there's a whole bunch of circular dependencies that cause/require a bunch of manual bootstrapping of certain packages so the perl mass rebuild is some what different to a standard all in mass rebuild.

The same applies for Ruby. It is definitely not just "fire the rebuild and forget". During the process, there is typically need to update some packages to be compatible with latest release, some were FTBFS already before, some others need bootstrap due to circular dependencies.
