That would lead inevitably to differences in behavior between different 
major releases of Perl, even if you had the most up to date CPAN 
version.pm release.  In fact, several of the changes were to prevent 
leaks, so I consider them high priority.

Besides, you can prevent the U::V override when you load the CPAN 
release by doing:

   use version qw();

which also suppresses the export of qv() to the calling scope.
