I was rather hoping that the above message would lead to more of a
discussion about the request. That doesn't appear to have happened so
far, so some specific questions:

- what is the real-world impact of the security issue?

- what is the effect of the changes on libmojolicious-perl's several
reverse-dependencies? (The upstream changelog mentions that the security
fix necessitated changing the way that existing methods operate.)
