I've given this a great deal of thought and decided not to go with the patch;
this would make CPANPLUS too much of a 'code police' which it really isn't.
we care about test results in the manner of 'PASS/FAIL/UNKNOWN/' but not
in 'how good was the PASS' or 'did you really cover everything'.
Although i think these metrics are very important, they might best be analyzed
by pjpc's cpancover project, or discussed on the perl-qa list, as an addition
perhaps to the testers data available there...
You can find the perl-qa list here:
