Yes. I think so.
A syntax deprecation like that shouldn't happen as part a maintenance branch.
It should be deprecated in 5.12 and removed in 5.14.
So version.pm should not warn until perl does. That's not my ideal
outcome, since I'm a big supporter of leading-v for a version tuple,
but I think it's the appropriate way to handle it.
Yes and no. There is a difference between warning about all v-strings
(which is what Nicolas was talking about) and warning about v-strings
used to initialize version objects (which is what I actually
implemented). I agree that the global warning about v-strings is
probably something that needs more warning (though we've documented
since 5.8.1 that v-strings will go away some time), but I think we could
still add the warning now for version.pm only...
