What happens when 5.12 comes out? Do you switch to enabling ":5.12" features? How many hundreds or thousands of modules do you hope will be using Moose by then?
Yes, I would suggest that. But, only because it seems fundamentally stupid to be running a version of perl that differs from that which you designed the code with AND you expect the same effect. Sounds to me like your saying, "Yea give me all the new stuff, but... if I don't want to use it... give me all the old stuff too...".
I'll cite the Linux Kernel AND Perl as counter examples that are immensely successful with the current design philosophy.
