Hello.

I think that's right for perl@ to hold lang/perl*, but you just need to
follow two simple rules to not shoot yourself heel.

1. Upgrade should pass test build (via exp-run).
2. Ask at least two members of perl@ to check patch (review).

These will allow to share responsibility :-)


Update, about which bapt@ was a talking above. I'm planing to migrate from
x.y.z versions to x.y. This will allow to move away from perl-after-uprade.
Also I'm thinking about better intergration of perl and pkgng in future.

So if you want to help or discuss please join us at #bsdperl@irc.perl.org
