Yep.

My thinking was that exposing the bug where it lives is probably a
better long-term approach.

My problem with the create_makefile_pl => 'traditional' is that it
doesn't install Module::Build, so we're not making any progress. If
you have a custom build subclass, you might as well put a die in
Makefile.PL.
The passthrough seems much more sane because it actually installs
Module::Build, yet nobody seems to encourage its use. Why?
