I maintain perl ... so ... that can happen within a week *easily*,
depending what I test-install. :)
On my chroot, I had a 1900 package depclean the other day that took 2
hours to run.
And yes, this was actually due to me going "oh, right, this box is
going to need to upgrade Perl soon, I should depclean *before* I sync
to make my life easier".
Welp.
