--- Comment #1 from Bill Cole <[email protected]> ---
There is no working mechanism for treating the children of Mail::SpamAssassin
as independent submodules, as they are all released as part of an integrated
release. There's no support for mixing modules from multiple releases or doing
partial upgrades. 3rd-party plugins obviously need to manage their own
versioning. 

Bug #6422 addressed a related problem (VERSION='bogus') by simply removing the
variable altogether. Only one of the modules involved there (Dns.pm) is showing
up in a 'cpan -O' scan, so clearly there is some way to ignore them. 

However, it's not clear to me *what* we would need to do to silence cpan in
this circumstance. It certainly should not be scanning our submodules for
versions, as they don't have their own.
