I think it's been decided that we're not going to fix this for 0.28 
then.

Of course, there's surely a CPANLUS equivalent of Yves out there 
somewhere who's going to say "M::B has its priorities wrong because 
they STILL don't support CPANPLUS!"  But this project has made my skin 
a bit thicker than it used to be, so those people can wait patiently or 
impatiently; the squeaky wheel will get the grease, CPANPLUS hasn't had 
any squeaky wheel people for a while now.
