| The lang/perl5.20 will still be in ports, for anyone that needs it.

Oh, yes, Perl 5.20 will still be until 2018-12-31, as will 5.18 until
2017-12-31 and 5.16 until 2016-12-31 :-)

But I'm talking about switching the default, it means people using packages
will not have mod_perl. (And you really can't use a non default Perl, and
binary packages for the rest.)
