Turning blead into a stable release of Perl is a lot of work. Doing it
well is even more work. As it looks like we're coming to a consensus on
a smaller set of changes making it into point releases, it's
increasingly important that our .0 releases are well tested, well
polished and good enough to run in production.

To that end, it's really important that we work through the perlbug
queue to identify issues which might block the release of 5.12.0.

An overview of perlbug is at http://rt.perl.org/rt3/NoAuth/perl5/Overview.html

I need some volunteers to comb through the RT queues to identify:

* issues that are no longer a problem in current blead

If you have the ability to edit tickets in perlbug, record your
findings and resolve the ticket. If you don't have the ability to
edit tickets in perlbug, send me email formatted like this:

1234: This is the bug subject
Tested on 5.11.0 - no longer exhibits the failing behaviour.

12345: This is some perlbug
User didn't actually describe an issue.

* issues that might block the release of 5.12.0

If you have the ability to edit tickets in perlbug, make ticket
#69710 depend on blockers.

If not, send me mail with the subject: "5.12 blockers" and a body
with ticket ids and subjects - one per line:

12346: 5.10.0 ate my kitten
12347: Using 5.10.0, I found mysterious kittens in my software


Thanks,

Jesse
