Well, if M::B is really ready for prime time (and it seems like
it is) it might help if it moved it's version up to, say, 1.0 from 0.2806, and
EU::MM started announcing in BOLD LETTERING that it is NOW OBSOLETE and WILL
BE DROPPED in perl version <whatever> every time it is run.
That might help move consensus along. People tend to use what they know
until they can't. A little 'geek marketing' might go a long way.
