the best course of action is for Chad to split it out from
Test-Simple and release it to CPAN. Let an ecosystem build around it and
after it achieves stability, then we can reconsider using it as the basis
for Test::Builder at a later date.

that horror show in Dancer/Dancer2 around plugins.
I think that if we ship a Test::More2, then such a release should encourage
people to leave Test::Foo alone and fork it to Test::Foo2 instead. Then a
new ecosystem can build up around it without sacrificing the existing one.

::* libraries and I
suspect that they could be forked to use Test::Builder2 trivially, as few
of them wind up needing the interesting new bits. Only the Test::* modules
that were monkey patching or can take advantage of hooks would need any
real revision.

return or extract the DB result directly
without using the Cursor code didn't repro, at least within my patience to
run the test code in a tight loop four times in parallel for many minutes.
It also seems related to the use of Try::Tiny as replacing that with an
eval didn't repro.

I can do that, but probably not this week due to work issues.

I think this will be a good practice for the PTG in general.
Thoughts?

Though I think that just runs downriver tests, not scrapes their usage in
any way.
