I don't like the check testers/grumble/upload new distribution with no functional changes just niggly little packaging bits you hope will opt out of testers tests you don't care about/sleep/repeat cycle. It's a slow, clunky black box game where the rules aren't always clear and you have to upload new versions of your distributions that don't do much for most of your users. I would find some sort of *optional* distribution packaging best practices scanner more useful here than getting CPAN Testers reports (by whatever mechanism). If I could see somehow that my distribution implicitly runs on Perl 5.001 (or explicitly runs only on 5.11.0), or that it has no Makefile.PL or Build.PL, or any of the other dozens of packaging quirks that can cause problems, I could fix them before uploading and before triggering a wave of testing. -- c
