This sounds reasonable, but only if it's very clearly marked as a "trial version", and not just a repeat of what RedHat/Fedora previously did to perl (and perl's upstream support channels) by shipping something with half the expected functionality missing.

In particular, shipping without brotli and IDN is going to break browsers' debug options to "copy request as curl command".

Yeah, leaving those two out seems like an odd choice, since both are used with https.

MS still ships with native FTPS support, feels a bit silly to leave that one out. The rest have proper clients (like scp) that should likely be preferred instead.
