I don't know if it's still possible to build on 5.22, depending on where

I don't know. I'm about to go on vacation, so I'll worry about this
when I get back. It's not relevant to the transition to perl-5.22.0.
My plan for the transition is to build biber-1.8 (x86_64 only for now),
assuming it builds and tests OK once I have perl-XML-Writer.
biber-1.8 seems fine with perl-5.22.0. Since I may be out of town with
poor internet access when you're ready for the transition, I went ahead
and uploaded it to sourceware (x86_64 only), along with a new release of
texlive-collection-bibtexextra [*]. At transition time, someone just
has to put !ready in my x86_64 upload area.
