You focused on the "safe" issue, and only see the "problematic".
The safer way is to stop the CPAN testers system. The already-installed
system may not meet the new requirement upon new releases. The
even-safer way is not to release anything. No software, no bugs, problems.
What is the right way? The right way is to solve the problem, not
to close your eyes to the problems.

I do not see your point. Is this because my English is too poor?
An easier step for my module to have "bunch of test reports" from less
than 1000 real users where none of them have CPAN::Reporter at all?

I do not see this also. If you remove all the reports from testers
that are not really installing the module, the CPAN testers report
database will be less than 1% left. Your point does sound like
non-sense from governments officials. Could you please speak in a
simple English tone?
