don't get me wrong but this *warning* triggers cron mails and spits messages
in case of every SA related command - that's unacceptable and in fact worser
than without that check
before *only* outdated perl versions where affected, now it hits also recent
Fedora setups working before without any warning and with that rule included
As I said, I underestimated the reaction to doing that.
if that rule can't work in most environments and not made conditionally it
has to be dropped at all because it has more drawbacks than benefits
It has already been commented out in my sandbox.
But this effectively means we cannot add new features to SA conditionals
because they might do this to older installs.
