Subject: Switch to List::SomeUtils
The recent releases of List::MoreUtils attempt to split off List::MoreUtils::XS into a separate distribution, however it is done in a way where the XS module is never installed anymore unless asked for, this could be a serious performance issue compared to older versions. In addition the recent releases are licensed strangely with a combination of 'as perl' and 'apache'. I recommend switching to the fork List::SomeUtils which does not suffer from these problems.

I agree! Switching will make it easier to use your distribution in corporate environments where both speed and licencing are important issues.
