That's not entirely fair. If I personally had to update all of my distributions and re-upload them to CPAN, it would never get done. If I (or the other users) have to upgrade EU::MM or Module::Build, they just install the latest from CPAN. If I had the old versions in my dist, I would have configured @INC to look for them, and that's where they'd be found regardless of what else is installed. I could code all sorts of conditionals to check if the module is already installed and of the right version and so on, but then things are getting pretty complex. It would be nice if some of these modules could do their magic at `make dist` time so they didn't have to show up in the dist. :)
