Comment (by mojca@…):
My opinion:
* Any tiny change in that file leads to enormous compilation times on
the buildbots; if anything, I would try to remove all the `p5-foo` ports
ASAP, ideally before any such change. Officially it's not been a full year
since these subports have been added though, but it will soon be. (And
then we'll soon need to add replacements for 5.16, 5.18 (and potentially
5.20))
* Is it too soon to auto-upgrade any `perl5.x` to `perl5.22`?
* `emer` is the maintainer of 5.18, but if we get his approval, we could
make a single port with a number of subports for `perl5.16` ... `perl5.22`
and add all the other obsolete perl ports could live in that file (which
would be a more natural place for them)
