It's that last one that concerns me, it's a bit heuristicy and I've been
things be declared NA that should have alerted the author to a backwards
compat problem.
Back before you declared 5.005 to be dead, Slaven Rezic created a lot
of chaos with FAIL reports from 5.005_05 when Makefile.PL or Build.PL
didn't have "use 5.006" and then ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Build
tried to eval an "our $VERSION" line from a .pm file.
Don't get me wrong, I think the heuristics are fine. That was in reference to
"why I like to see the details of an NA".
