The regressions in Linux kernel upgrades are often a nightmare. Like the recent ACPI regressions in the current kernel. What a mess.

  That wasn't a regression. It was a documented deprecation that happened as documented. The fact that nothing in userspace updated for it was annoying, though, I'll agree.
  Fortunately, perl won't have that problem since it has a policy of not breaking old code, and people regularly test blead against the entire CPAN.

    All I know is that the latest linux kernel broke sleep/restore for a LOT of hardware.
