Packagers of distributions are very helpful, so they will contribute
to maintain such a large package... at least (and most important)
report discovered issues. Rarely used modules (which happens when
you fragment the solution) however, will simply never get packaged
in the first place. Issues will be discovered much later.
In manual pages, you can only find the current status of you OS libraries.
When you write code, you have to have some backwards compatibility. I used
the output of cpantesters to collect OS differences.
