The issue with this perl rebuilt was the person conducting the initial 
rebuild didn't manage to finish it. Don't get me wrong - He did a good 
job, but his time frame simply was unrealistically short.

This later on caused hickups during the official mass-rebuild, which 
still has its impact until today, because nobody has managed to fix some 
of the remaining bugs. When or even if these bugs can be overcome is 
still an open question.
