Yes, but until that time it makes sense for module authors to use the 
backwards compatibility layer and generate a Makefile.PL.  Still, as a 
module author I think this feature is well documented.  If anything, 
perhaps a small emphasis on using "create_makefile_pl => 'passthrough'" 
could be made?
