yeah, this is looking much more like the suffering I'm seeing with vendoring. Though query: I presume the battle list includes not only "things that are themselves broken", but "things that are broken because their dependencies can't be satisfied" ? ( Otherwise I can see some entries in that list and I don't know why they're there, because I've not seen any reports ) -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
