Would it be easier if we removed it from the core?

What version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker are you running?
Meanwhile... what module in this chain is requiring a new MakeMaker?
Now, it might be that you need a new MakeMaker to make your CPAN client
happy or something but you shouldn't need one to upgrade Module::Build.
By the way, if any of the stuff mentioned above breaks, it breaks
*everything* for *everybody* so you really shouldn't be afraid to
upgrade it all early and often.
