Suggestion regarding verbage in Canary::Stability

There's been a bit of confusion by some people who don't really
understand why Canary::Stability exists, because they may not have the
underlying context needed to interpret the messages.

Especially with regards to happenings in P5P that end users frequently
don't pay any attention to.

My interpretation of it is as follows, and a person I revealed this
interpretation to suggested you might find it accurate enough to
integrate something along similar lines:

 "I do my best to provide predictable and reliable software.

However, as of 5.22, I can't make claims that my software is as
reliable as previously promised.

As of late, P5P have been introducing regressions that are sometimes
subtle and other times catastrophic.

Subsequently, this warning is just to let you know that risk is there
so you can make judgement calls on how to proceed"
