in reply to Perl 5.10.0 or Perl 5 Version 10?

to defeat the "no major release of Perl" in X years FUD

In fact there will always be some FUD, and you can't always change things just to avoid it. Whatever you do, somebody will complain about. That's life.

    Not really a change of versioning, more a shift of emphasis.

    But then, I would say that, wouldn't I?
