I'd vote to support 5.005_03 now for a few reasons:

   - Most code we develop for 5.005_03 will work
     if we decide to switch the minimum requirements
     up to 5.6.1 or 5.8 when it comes out.  The reverse
     isn't necessarily true.
   - "Backporting" sucks.
   - When you're in the brainstorming stage of a project
     it's better not to censor ideas until you've
     tried to explore your options.
   - When real design begins, we need to decide what
     specific features are required from perl for a true
     enterprise level platform.  We should then choose the
     lowest possible stable version that could meet our
     requirements.

We have the capability of making a system that can run
on a large amount of current installs, what would be the
point of limiting our user base at this stage?  I can see
us tightening up the scope before actual design, but I
don't see how it would help the project at this early stage.
