I've just pushed the following, which hopefully means there are no longer
any issues with the dot-issue text in perldelta:
I intend to spend the rest of today generally proofreading perldelta.

perldelta: update @INC blurb in Notice
The original text got mangled when applied; I've readded the missing
sentence, and reworded things slightly to be a more informative initial

by 2c4393cceb72ac358b.
