Good question, which I already asked myself, after I sent the mail :-)

Yes, because the MAN3PODS part was only ever relevant when building inside
the core distribution. The change to the build script will get backported
into any future maintenance releases.

(It was only because podulators V2 started using POSIX, which miniperl can't
load, so the core extension build will fail if it tries to make manpages.
Not that those manpages were ever actually used, as ./installman makes the
man pages that *actually* get installed)
