From @Tux

This is a place-holder/parent for bugs that stall the release of perl-5.10.1

@Tux - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

From @iabyn

Since 5.10.1 has been released, I guess marking this is stalled makes
sense (it shouldn't be resolved, since there are unresolved dependents)

@iabyn - Status changed from 'open' to 'stalled'

From @doy

I think unlinking the dependents and closing it is fine.

But are all the dependents actually resolved?

(In that, if we thought that something was worth fixing for 5.10.1, but
ultimately didn't, don't we still think that it's worth fixing?)

Well, yeah, that's why they are still open. If we still think we want
them to be fixed specifically by 5.18, we can add them to the 5.18 meta
ticket.

That seems like an excellent plan. Does that ticket exist yet?
(I couldn't find it, but I can find the equivalents for 5.14.0 and 5.16.0)

This is also "interesting" in that it still has open children​:

https://rt-archive.perl.org/perl5/Ticket/Display.html?id=70369
  [META] Needs expert assessment for 5.12.0

but possibly after 2 years it deserves the same fate as

https://rt-archive.perl.org/perl5/Ticket/Display.html?id=70421
  [META] Non-critical bugs for Perl 5.12.0

in that those bugs aren't really special, if no-one has fixed them and
no-one else has reported them.
