I only mention Canary::Stability/stableperl bitter taste. The TeXlive tlmgr tripped over the cosmetic but annoying regression in 5.22, there were no fix some time ago, despite the fact that the bug was known for porters for long time, see http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1132751 (the article claims that the issue was fixed, I am not sure). Previous policy, even if informal, was to wait for 5.xx.1 before bringing the port to the tree. May be, we should wait for xx.1 before switching the default port, at least ?
