In one week it'll be freely available anyway so I don't mind posting it 
to a small list like our.

My own 2 cents:

If the security bug is already present in released perl versions (5.12, 
5.14, etc.) then it shouldn't block the 5.16 release but it should be 
fixed as soon as possible and backported appropriately. If it's an 
introduced issue in the 5.16 cycle then they should delay release.

Discuss! :)
