It's my understanding that we already have a better and cleaner
way of handling international versus US crypto issues with OpenSSH
than they do, thanks to the stubs that were put into place in the
libraries.
Given this, and given the level of tight integration we have
elsewhere with those things that we have taken the somewhat unusual
step of integrating into FreeBSD, I don't take their inclusion of
Perl 5.6.0 to be a necessary and sufficient condition for us to do
the same.
Just because someone else jumped off a bridge and has survived
(so far), does this necessarily mean it's a good idea for us to try
to follow suit at this stage?
