Right. It isn't so much about convincing module owners, as Leon
suggested; it's dealing with all the existing applications out there
that
Bundles (packages in the Bundle::) namespace are supposed to include
a list of modules in their POD (and no code at all) so CPAN.pm can install them
one by one.
Why is this better than creating a package that lists all the same
modules as prerequisites in its Makefile.PL or Build.PL?
