There was quite some changes with some resulting issue when switching Squeeze from 5.2 to 5.3, for example having a deprecation notice warning about return of a reference, or the removal of some function. This*did* break things, especially when dealing with XML or other parsable outputs (I remember fixing a bunch of them last year before Squeeze was out, and there's still some remaining to fix).
This was the point I was trying to make. We have some very useful packages that as yet have not been 'upgraded' to 5.3 due to lack of time. Yes they run, but the deprecated warnings and the like ARE a problem in themselves, and working through code simply to clear warnings, and still maintain BC for people using 5.2 for other reasons is yet another distraction.
I am expecting the same types of problem from 5.3 to 5.4 and already have problems because test scripts will no longer run on the 5.2 test machine ....
