Those are both developer releases.
IIRC there's something unresolved that isn't yet in a CPAN release.

Even 1.50 is still failing on blead

Not going to happen because it relies on major upgrades that remove some parts

Not going to happen; it's too major.


I don't see it as the end of the world if a stable release is a bit stable in
its bundling of dual life modules.
