This isn't a change that gets into a maint branch.
You have bytecode compatibility between different major versions of Perl 5?
How does that work, given that this is between versions that can well have
different SV flags (if not different meanings for the SV types), can have
different op flags (or different meaning for the op flags), and different ops
available.

Phrasing it like that is likely to *reduce* your chances of getting anyone
