Because 5.10.0 stable is not stable as agreed by everyone on p5p.
I added some patches which came in over time, so it's really more a perl-5.10.05
Similar to the ActiveState 5.10 release

I have the 1.7 version in test now for some weeks and release it soon,
after the
pending clisp and postgresql. I gave up on the new parrot and perl6 again, so I
don't have to waste my time there.

I had some spare time some time ago to fix most of the issues, it compiles now ,
just the event loop still needs to be reconfigured.
