code freeze as we approach 5.34.0

Porters,

The next release of perl we expect to see is v5.34.0-RC1. Great!

That means we're in full code freeze. Nothing should be going into blead that isn't either part of the release process or addressing a blocker -- and right now, we only have one potential blocker: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18739

That means no module updates, no last minute bug fixes, and so on. If you find a new critical bug, though, report it and it can get reviewed as a blocker!

I'm hoping we'll have some expert eyes on that in the next day or two.

I also have two PRs that I'd like to land almost immediately:

* some documentation updates around experiments: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18757
* update to the p5p moderator list: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18753

Please don't merge anything else to blead without clearing it with Sawyer or, at least, some other committers.

I have a tiny docs fix about the `isa` operator here. It was pointed
out that the documentation doesn't quite agree with the implementation
in terms of precedence. The implementation and tests were all correct,
it just needed a small change in docs:

https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18765

Do you think that might be permitted before 5.34? It would be useful
because if that's in the 5.34 release then we won't need to change
anything to de-experimentalise it.

Yes, and honestly I'm pretty sure I've snuck this sort of "changed one line of docs" into an RC before.
