I like that solution better, BUT, there's a significant chance that some things 
will fall through the cracks (for authors who don't get the notices, for 
example), and because we put out release software on the CPAN that people rely 
on, I have to agree with Jarkko and vote to err on the side of safety first.

I'd rather spend more energy getting people to opt in, than opt them in by 
default.
