This is important, but I think the first step should be current.html. I don't see any reason to avoid listing major changes needed for port updates there.

There are some notable exceptions where people (including developers) have obviously missed this, but I think the general lack of problems people have had with the various p5-* ports which were merged into base perl last release suggests that the majority of people actually do use this.
