Seems like this one came true in practice. It seems like a 5.18
rebuild run was done in a side tag and then merged back into Rawhide.
Unfortunately, quite a lot of the 5.18 rebuilds seem to have been done
prior to the general F20 mass rebuild - so the mass rebuild won out,
and effectively squelched the perl rebuild.
The f20-perl tag was merged back before the mass rebuild was started.
so everything in the mass rebuild was built against the new perl.
however because the perl rebuild was at a week there was quite a few
packages rebuilt against the old perl. we need to work out how to build
perl quicker. your analysis is not really correct.
