              Apparently less so with all the new ARM builders, right?
              Is this something

              you're saying could be improved, or is it just something
              we always need to

              budget time for?

            
            The perl upgrade process is some what manual and
              there's a whole bunch of circular dependencies that
              cause/require a bunch of manual bootstrapping of certain
              packages so the perl mass rebuild is some what different
              to a standard all in mass rebuild.

    The same applies for Ruby. It is definitely not just "fire the
    rebuild and forget". During the process, there is typically need to
    update some packages to be compatible with latest release, some were
    FTBFS already before, some others need bootstrap due to circular
    dependencies.
