Well, they need to get their story straight.
<http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html> says:
Please note that branches earlier than 5.8 are no longer supported, though fixes for urgent issues, for example
severesecurity problems, may still be issued.
What is more, ignoring 5.10 and older would simply foolish. Those
versions are live on many of the platforms we build Postgres on, and in
quite modern distributions too, for example in RHEL 6.
Anyway, they point seems moot in this context.
