Our recent pattern has been "keep starting at whatever the previous cat 
has as systerm-perl", which would mean 10.7 gets 5.10.0. But that was 
at least partly to keep things Just Working when users upgraded to the 
next cat. Now that we're breaking to a new dist, I'm not sure we even 
need to keep 5.10.0. There are a few incompatibilities in the language 
itself, but 5.12 has been out for a long time already so they can 
usually be fixed easily. perl5.8.8? Oh hell no:)
