The problem isn't today.  It's the "trend" and next month, when
someone decides they need to add some other module, and has a
precedent to follow.   Then, suddenly we end up with 30 different
modules included in our distribution, each one changed slightly from
the CPAN one.  Dual-lifed modules that live with perl5 are hard
enough.
