Can Canary::Stability please be retired?

Hello,

I'd like to strongly urge you to retire Canary::Stability. You
maintain some very important modules (such as EV), and urging users to
replace their Perl installations with 5-year-old versions is both
unreasonable and harmful.

FreeBSD has had to go to lengths to fix Canary::Stability. If you
really are married to the module, can you please restrict it to
objectively checking for actual critical environment things, and
remove the personal opinions? The worst possible scenario for our
user-base is that they follow the instructions that module gives to
them.
