I understand your concern, but...
1) This is why we have an extended test period for a bug fix release, 
since it is nowhere near urgent to release this like a security update.
2) I personally have used this package in production for weeks with 
seemingly good results.
3) Notice how the bug was only a corner case where an attempt of a 
"proper" semi-artificial dependency was created.  Thanks to this issue I 
personally understand the pre-FC2 perl problem better now.  I also now 
understand why fedora.us has packaged perl modules in a certain way, 
because they had already realized this problem long ago.
