I know, it's clearly in the timeline.
I'm not worried about CPAN authors not getting to what they need, but as
mentioned in Monterey, It's also a reassurance to the rest of the world that
the CPAN modules are not forgotten.
The second thing that should be considered is that a lot of important/heavily
used modules depend on other modules (i.e. all DBD's depend on DBI).
I just think this should be mentioned in the timeline.
