I don't have a problem with a new branch and a separate release to
coincide with Perl 5.16.  I'll have to make sure I am tracking
branches, but I don't see a problem with that either.  I would also
guess that there is a unstable GNOME release on the same day as Perl
5.16 [1], so I'd already be doing the motions anyways as it were.

Thanks,

Brian
