I understand your concern, but...
1) This is why we have an extended test period for a bug fix release,
since it is nowhere near urgent to release this like a security update.
2) I personally have used this package in production for weeks with
seemingly good results.
3) Notice how the bug was only a corner case where an attempt of a
"proper" semi-artificial dependency was created. Thanks to this issue I
personally understand the pre-FC2 perl problem better now. I also now
understand why fedora.us has packaged perl modules in a certain way,
because they had already realized this problem long ago.
