I've been trying out the latest OI build, and most things look great!
(Thanks to everyone who helped.)

However, I have some 3rd party stuff that wants older versions of perl
(5.10.0, 5.16) and python (2.6) and I can't figure out how to get pkg
to let me install those along side the current ones (perl 5.22, python
2.7).
Some time ago, it was possible to install multiple versions of perl
and/or python.
Is that still possible?

It's still possible to have python 2.7 and 3.4 or perl 5.22 and 5.24 coinstalled, but older versions were marked 'Obsolete', which means IPS will refuse to install them and will attempt to remove as long as there's no installed dependent packages. I suppose, you understand, why we don't want to have software, which is not longer
supported by projects itself in our repository.

From other packages which I'd like to mark Obsolete I see all MySQL(percona, mariadb) versions
before 5.7 and PostgreSQL 9.3 (perhaps, 9.4)...
