Subject: Deprecate support for Perl versions older than 5.6.2
The idea is to fork POE development into "old-Perl" and "now-Perl" branches. Someone with an interest in old Perl, perhaps because they use it in production, will take over that branch. Development of POE will then move into the 21st century.
Support for older versions of Perl will fail naturally and gradually as the people who care about them dwindle and they stop sending in patches.
