If we ever intend to use XS code, we should put at least some dummy XS code into 3.0. Why? EU::MM isn't very intelligent about that stuff. As soon as *any* part of a module contains XS, it will put the libs into the arch-dependant part of $PERLLIB (ie. INSTALLARCHLIB instead of INSTALLSITELIB). Apache::Test seems to have (had) some issues with that, see this [1] mail by Stas Bekman and the reply [2] by Michael Schwern on the EU::MM list. If SpamAssassin suddenly start to switch its location, this might cause the packagers/distributions some headaches. So I suggest to make the switch for 3.0.
