-1 We need to support current versions of enterprise distros without

I would be fine with establishing an overall policy over this, where we
re-evaluate on the retirement of any of a number of enterprise distros
that we track (RHEL, debian, Ubuntu, ...) and make sure to always
support the oldest available perl in any one of those distros that is
still actively supported.
