Because the festing pile of sh*t doesn't build properly too often.
How many reports have you seen of people who have a lot of trouble with
perl when upgrading? We should make it so one can turn Perl off in the
world build, and still be able to build a kernel.
Once running on a new kernel and new mostly-complete userland, they can
re-try bulding the world with perl.
