Kengo Seki commented on AVRO-2547:
----------------------------------
I'd like to use Perl 5.10.1+ to support bzip2 codec, because [bzip2-related
modules (IO::Compress::Bzip2 and IO::Uncompress::Bunzip2) has been included in
Perl core modules from that
version|https://perldoc.perl.org/5.10.1/index-modules-I.html].
I think we can drop the support for Perl 5.8.x and 5.10.0 for the following
reasons:
* [Both 5.8.9 (Dec 14, 2008) and 5.10.0 (Dec 18, 2007) are released more than
ten years ago|https://perldoc.perl.org/perlhist.html]. I think it's enough time
to drop support for them. [They're also in the "end of life"
status|https://www.cpan.org/src/].
* Avro depends on Regexp::Common, and [it has already dropped support for them
more than three years
ago|https://metacpan.org/source/ABIGAIL/Regexp-Common-2017060201/README].
