But you, dear modernists, can do better than outlined above: Just
break more stuff which always used to work more rapidly and you might
manage to make Perl 5 go the way of Perl6^Wthe dodo: Nobody uses it

get 'RedHat' to never ship Perl 5.20 and onwards at all because
none of their customers wants it.
