I think that namespace would be a problem for a few reasons:

I know you will not if you give Dancer::App::Usergroup to me

Yes. Like Dancer::Plugin
And I can make any plugin.
If someone wants to create the same thing ("hey, I want a mailman in Dancer
too"), you basically get a clash. Now you'll have
Dancer::App::Mailman and Dancer::App::Perlman and Dancer::App::Mailman::Faster,
etc.
Yep. Just like in the Plugin namespace.
The best approach, IMHO, is to give your project a name (like "mailman" is the
name) and use that. This is what Starman, Twiggy,
Dancer, Mojo, etc. do. We all give our projects names and release them under
those names.
No we dont.
Also, another general note: web applications don't really fit the CPAN
structure. I think every web framework (including Dancer)
gets this wrong. Our installation tools are not suited for this type of
program. We do our best (sort of) to allow easy
encapsulation but it's still the wrong approach. I don't think anyone figured
it out yet in Perl-land.
I figured it out.
You want me to clame Dancers
and one of these is Dancers::Usergroup
Think again.

Can you give an example of one that is useful as a CPAN module?
Yes, lots.
How many Dancer::App's can you find that implement:
- a blog
- an URL shortener
- bookmarks
- pastebins
- or (from the docs) a forum?
Some of them need an Auth system
but we have Dancer-Plugin-Auth-Extensible
Just configure your Dancer::App in config.yml
I am working on a "mailman" system.
Do you want to reinvent a "usergroup"?
I do. And I want it to look NOT like
http://lists.preshweb.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/dancer-users
So: Dancer::App::Usergroup
Can I have that namespace?

I reuse controler modules in different deployment modules.
Some controler modules are useful CPAN modules.
They do not extend the DSL, so, are not Dancer::Plugin's.
Can I use the namespace Dancer::App for those modules?
