I think #2 might not be all that radical. We have nothing older
than 5.14.0 in the buildfarm, so we don't really have much grounds
for claiming that 5.8.3 will work today. And 5.10.1 came out in
2009, so how likely is it that anyone cares anymore?
I would vote for this option, if we don't run the trailing edge anywhere where
breakage is visible to developers then it is like you say, far from guaranteed
to work.
+1 from me too. We kept 5.8 going for a while because it was what the
Msys (v1) DTK perl was, but that doesn't matter any more I think.
