It is a reasonable position, really, so long as you don’t stretch it to absurd lengths. If there is something *unusual* involved in the construction of a release of the module, then the code that performs that task absolutely should be part of the distribution. > I say that people who want to know what the silly POD-checking > tests look like should be able to find a thousand verbatim > instances on the CPAN My first act in office as new maintainer (be it ownership change or fork) is often to throw out its toolchain plumbing and install the infrastructure I prefer.
