I'm particularly troubled that we have added two major deprecations
very late in this release cycle:
5.37.9: deprecate Foo'Bar
5.37.10: (not even released yet): change 'experimental' to 'deprecated':
~~, given, when, etc.
There seems to have been a lot of CPAN test suite breakage from these.
Even if the fixes turn out to be trivial, and even if p5p volunteer to do
all the fixing, it doesn't leave a lot of time to get new releases out and
settled in.
So I think that
a) such deprecations in future should only come early in the blead release
cycle;
b) we should seriously consider backing out for now the two specific
Foo'Bar and ~~ deprecations and re-adding them for 5.38.1.
