What if they have the correct modules installed, they have a net
connection, but it fails partway through the tests?  That doesn't mean
the module's bad.

Admittedly, some might disagree with whether or not this is an
appropriate analysis (there will be lots of agreement over which are
"Must Not Fail" tests), but there's consensus that the current system
needs to change.  Just because the author forgot an =back in the POD
doesn't mean that the module should fail to install.  The main thing we
need to focus on is letting people Get Stuff Done, not worrying about
tiny details in a quest for purity (I'm not saying you're doing that! 
I assume that was an honest question of yours :)

Cheers,
Ovid
