Yes, we all agree that it would be useful to give users the ability to rename or not install a meta. The problem is that in quite a few places in Class::MOP, Moose, and all of MooseX, we call $pkg->meta with the expectation that it'll be there and return the metaclass. It's just a small design problem, one we can fix with enough grunt work. :) > > Thanks Shawn > Ps. How do I subscribe to the mail list? Send mail to moose-subscr...@perl.org.
