I understand, but fortunately time is changing and some things are
better now then they used to be. I can't say this will be successful,
but as I said, RPM, which was the usual excuse, is Perl independent,
with the last exception I suggest to get rid off and I believe that Perl
team can now do bootstrap and rebuild of all Perl packages, which should
help with testing prior this lands, so all these makes me optimistic.
