the perl version support policy

A reading from Moose::Manual::Support:

  As of version 2.00, Moose officially supports being run on perl 5.8.3+. Our
  current policy is to support the earliest version of Perl shipped in the latest
  stable release of any major operating system (this tends to mean CentOS). We
  will provide at least six months notice (two major releases) when we decide to
  increase the officially supported Perl version. The next time this will happen
  is in January of 2012, when Moose 2.06 will increase the minimum officially
  supported Perl version to 5.10.1.

The docs go on to elaborate that "support" just has to do with how much time
we'll spend on on bug fixes.  "We" promise to spend time trying to fix it if we
accidentally require 5.12, but not if we accidentally require 5.10.  Further,
we'll probably accept a patch restoring working order on 5.8.  "We" just don't
promise to write it.

CentOS 6 is still 5.10.1, presumably making 5.10.1 the oldest officially
supported version of perl.  CentOS 7 is expected to ship soon, and contains
5.14.  I'm guessing that there will still be something shipping 5.12 in stable,
though.  Anybody know?

We should find out and prep an update to the support document to be applied
when that happens.
