Probably all those who use Mech to (kind of) stress-test their servers
and apps? LWP::RobotUA is "a class for well-behaved robots", which some
WWW::Mechanize robots probably are not, on purpose.
Maybe the RobotUA behaviour (looking for /robots.txt) could be the default
for Mech robots. But I think several Mech users would like this behaviour
to be configurable.
# by default (nice => 1) the bot would be a subclass of LWP::RobotUA
my bot = WWW::Mechanize->new( nice => 0 ); # don't be nice
