I disagree.
Conflicts implies a fatal package clash for this one specific module.
If CPAN(PLUS) is fatally out of date for a significant subset of CPAN,
we need to deal with that seperately, without duplicate a ton of
metadata in the META.yml.
Also, CPAN(PLUS) is (should be) entirely outside the concern of the
configuration script/phase.
The CPAN client is a layer ABOVE the configure script.
