perl 5.24.0 blockers

Let's get back to reviewing blockers.  I'm looking forward to landing this
plane!

PREVIOUS BLOCKER COUNT: 13
CURRENT  BLOCKER COUNT: 16 (but some are probably not blockers)

* remove encoding.pm
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123945

  We wanted to remove this from core.  We haven't yet.  We should do this
  immediately.

* BBC: Lexical-SealRequireHints
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126484

  This is a pretty big deal.  There are a bunch of downstream deps, as seen
  here:

  http://deps.cpantesters.org/depended-on-by.pl?dist=Lexical-SealRequireHints-0.009

* the pesky \N{...}
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=123417

  This all is fixed, I think, except for taking Karl's final suggested action
  of deprecating empty \N{}.  Right?

* changes to infinite recursion in regex
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126182

  I believe this is no longer a blocker, as of
  401a80220e9b38609f41611345e25c9956fd7157.  Right?

* dtrace/-DDEBUGGING builds now fail on Solaris
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127543

  I have no intel on this.

* memory leaks in make test
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127657

  This isn't exactly a blocker, but Karl hopes we'll have a look at this before
  5.24.

* core dump in call_sv under threads
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127708

  This is a quite new one.  Not much info yet.  Not a regression from 5.22 (it
  seems) but from 5.20.  No bisect.

* BBC: Unicode::Unihan
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127713

  Recent report, bisected to a recent change.

* BBC: Scalar::List::Utils (!)
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127603

  Paul, looks like you have a PR to merge? :)

* BBC: Net::Yadis
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127638

  Looks like we can supply a patch to XML::XPath::Node::Element and/or
  Net::Yadis, or the idea for a patch.  I'll just add ot the Net::Yadis ticket
  a pointer back to the perl ticket.

* BBC: App::assh
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=124430

  This no longer seems to be broken.  Agreed?

* BBC: IPC::Run on Win32
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=125303

  No news in months.

* BBC: perl5i
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126545
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=126162

  There's a patch.  I have not reviewed this.

* BBC: Test-MemoryGrowth
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127054

  Karl guesses this is a bug in the test.  Paul?

* BBC: App-JobLog
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127231

  More interesting to me: very recently, still a report that List::MoreUtils is
  broken in blead.  I thought that had been fixed...

  Not sure about this ticket yet.

* BBC: Algorithm-Permute
  https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127475

  Current thinking seems to be, "this module was too chummy with the guts and
  needs to be updated for new context stack, but is also probably
  unmaintained."
