However, one of the tenets of Dist::Zilla is that your base directory need
not look anything like the final distribution.
In the case of Catalyst applications, the standard assumption that a checkout
and a final dist look much the same (as is normal for CPAN) is used quite
substantially; so I'd say that in this case Dist::Zilla's philosophical
decision to violate that convention makes it a suboptimal choice.
OTOH, if it works for you, I'm all for you enjoying using it :)
