The residual changes would be a removal of Crypt-SSLeay and IPC-Cmd, while IPC-Run, Test-NoWarnings and Test-Tester would still be supplied by the build dependencies. Unless someone has a strong opinion that these two should be dropped, I'd continue to have them available. Going forward I think this should provide a smooth transition: 1) ITA perl_vendor and provide an umbrella plus all dependencies for perl-5.14.2. I'd use current versions for these, not the original ones from perl_vendor. 2) The re-builds and additional distributions for perl-5.18 will be provided as test versions. 3) Coinciding with the perl-5.18.2 release, move everything from test to current. 4) Optional: obsolete the perl_vendor umbrella package.
