I propose that we tackle this in 5.12/experimental first; I imagine that there is a potential for some breakage when updating the version of libdb in use by perl, and if we are able to proceed with the perl-5.12 transition[1] in the next few months then hopefully this won't be too much of a burden on the libdb maintainers, and will avoid too many separate rounds of breakage. Ondřej, any thoughts on this plan? Cheers, Dominic.
