Sub::Exporter::ForMethods appeared on that list, but as far as I know, it
doesn't need a new release, unless it's to require a higher version of prereqs.
That won't actually be a problem, though:  what's needed is for a fresh install
of v5.26.0 to find a newer version of the prereq.  The downstream module
doesn't actually need to know about it or require it.

I must admit I haven't been following this closely, but it seems to me like the
most useful list is:

* which modules are, on their own, broken
* ...possibly with a count of how many downstream things they break

In this case, Mac::SystemDirectory is a huge culprit, breaking File::HomeDir
installs on macOS, which breaks a holy ton of downstream things.  I don't think
it appeared on your list.
