Schwern's logic [snipped] makes sens to me. This seems like a good
idea.
It will get rid of a lot of the CPAN.pm complaints - from those people
who can't or won't upgrade to a recent version, or those people who
are just trying it for the first time and don't know a newer version
exists.
This also provides an incentive to keep CPAN versions and core
versions synced.
