Thanks for caring. One downside of unconditional upgrade of the call is, of course, that it would no longer work for those with older Getopt::Long that did not support the "!" suffix. Fortunately, Getopt::Long 2.33 started shipping with Perl 5.8.1 that is more than 20 years old, so with the series we accepted, we also have a change to bump the required version of Perl from 5.8.0 to 5.8.1 to make it clear that it is deliberate that we drop the support for anything older at the same time.
