Yes, it does matter: 1) CPAN modules bundled in Perl releases are supposed to have a matching CPAN release. Exceptions are meant for emergencies only. 2) It makes the job of the core committer a lot easier if they can just upgrade the module in its entirety without having to manually extract a minimal patch.
