And that was my (obviously badly stated ;-) point.
For people who care about keeping the number of installed modules on
a production platform to a minimum not installing build/test modules
is the "right thing".
For people who care about reducing build time installing build/test
is the "right thing".
Or, for example, I might want to manage a separate tree of non-
production test/build modules so I can get the best of both worlds.
build_requires is useful now, even though the installation tools
don't support all possible use cases yet. M::B is doing the right
thing letting us talk about different kinds of prerequisites. If
enough people itch CPANPLUS and friends will grow to allow people to
use the information in more interesting ways.
TIMTOWTDI and all that :-)

Adrian
