+	     notes and placeholders for them). Move some things around. Steal, um
+	     flatter, some things from perl5100delta.pod.

+	Log: A first pass over what's there. Rejig some sections to use =head2 where
+	     that was the style I used in perl587delta.pod. Move things to more
+	     appropriate sections. Attempt to normalise the "Upgraded Modules"
+	     section. Remove the change numbers - if people really need this the
+	     commit messages are clear. Remove erroneous references to 5.10 features
+	     that crept in. (Useful - they had to be purged from other files too).
+	     Remove references to bug fixes that were actually 5.10.x only,
+	     utilities that are 5.10.x only, and utilities that are not installed.
+	     If they're not installed, they belong in "hacking" type documentation.
+	     Remove all references to perltodo. It's invariably out of date in
+	     5.8.x, and we don't want to encourage people to hack against this
+	     source tree.
+	     
+	     But by heck, there's already a lot there. Thank you everyone.
