Not sure what was wrong with yum. Now are these updates working.

Fixed.

So, if anyone is willing to start with reviews of sub-packages... I've
added into Draft that I should be co-maintainer, therefore feel free to
take any sub-package you want :)

I suppose we should be careful and don't update in all releases all
modules because of ugly build issues like #564836 and #555420. I suppose
this happened because of changes in Module::Build, but I could be wrong.
Hopefully at least these two will be fixed by update to the latest release.
