Convention? On CPAN? Are you kidding? By that logic, many of the
commonly used tools on CPAN could change API and your answer would be
"oh, well, you relied on a module that wasn't 1.00".
That said, I agree with the broader point. Sometimes stuff changes.
YAML, for better or worse, has become a major dependency in some aspects
of the build process, so changes there "hurt" more and will require some
scrambling to work-around. If one isn't relying on upstream tools to
deal with it (and thus manage the YAML dependency changes for us) then
its changes mean one's own changes.
