Nothing’s happened with my pull request.

I’ve gone ahead and dropped permissions on inner classes 
HTML::Template::DEFAULT and friends, to resolve the conflict.

If you’re happy to give me co-maint, I’ll do a release with my change, but I 
think it would be better if WONKO did a release :-)

Cheers,
Neil

Great! I just sent a pull request to Michael’s repo for HTML-Template. I also 
updated the dist.ini to request that releases include a META.json file as well 
as a META.yml.

Cheers,
Neil

That's fine - there's no upside to indexing these inner classes, they're
entirely internal and don't have a public API.  Thanks!
