For instance, some fairly commonly used Linux apps like ulauncher, autokey, fail2ban and xpra depend on pyinotify which hasnt been maintained for the last 6 years or so, which is why fedora, arch and nixos now includes patches to make it 3.12 compatible. I don’t find it very unlikely that your inhouse script could be using it too.
I think you should apologize for attempting to fracture and disrupt the choice of communication channels for 100s of open source projects instead. You are making life harder for maintainers, who volunteer their time to give people software and support for free. Please stop doing that.
Unfortunately the default way of installing Perl modules (cpan command line tool). is just as insecure as curl | sh - Note that we have added an example of securely installing Mojo on the homepage as well, if you have configured Perl for signature verification - http://mojolicio.us/
