Hoping this will be able to go in before the lock, I've heard good
things about RC1 working without any issue, so hopefully I can find OKs
from the right folks, so please give it a try and let me know as I'd
really like to pick up some of the other items.

I've got a test release building now, so will be testing myself over the
weekend.

Fortunately, the "incompatible changes" are none, as far as is known:

The perl changes are described in the perldelta:
(I'd list them here, but it's surprisingly long)
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/SHAY/perl-5.24.3/pod/perldelta.pod


The same fixes that were in RC1 are in the final version.  The only
changes are documentation and a bump of Module::CoreList.
https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/shortlog/refs/heads/maint-5.24


A patch you should be able to apply to -current is here:
http://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/perl-update/OpenBSD-perl-5.24.3.patch

Or, you can download the pre-patched files:
(which includes some extra perldeltas and tests that I didn't cvs add)
http://cvs.afresh1.com/~andrew/perl-update/OpenBSD-perl-5.24.3.tar.gz

Or, of course, you can build your own version with what is on github:
https://github.com/afresh1/OpenBSD-perl/

Speed matters.  
Almost as much as some things, and nowhere near as much as others.
