Well, the idea here is to make the basic framework a minimal one, and  
make the kits into something you can download separately (or else,  
build a tool using CamelBones which will allow you to construct  
whatever kits you need and bundle them into your app).

Then, kits can be updated separately from CamelBones, and trying to  
update all the kits doesn't delay the main build (since the general  
feedback seems to be that more people need just CB than need the CPAN  
stuff).  Getting rid of the kits entirely would be silly, but there's  
no reason not to split them out into separate downloads. :)
