[rrd-developers] Bug#419948: librrds-perl: Information about affected platform

This bug had not seen any activity in year. It seems rather unlikely
that any resources will be spent on this and further tracking it does
not make sense imho.

Also note that there are some ideas around redesigning RRDtool from the
ground up -- see https://github.com/oetiker/rrdtool-2.x
