Subject: Suggest Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::ReportPrereqs for dynamic prereqs
Might be worth mentioning that Test::ReportPrereqs will pick up dynamic prereqs from MYMETA.json if CPAN::Meta is available, so is a good step-up if the static limitation of ReportVersions::Tiny is a problem. David

Would it be useful for the plugin to check dynamic_config in metadata, and issue a more strong warning at build time if it is set? such as a warning, rather than a simple informational message: "Warning: this distribution has dynamic_config=>1 - we may not be able to properly report on all actual prereqs." That would be a good clue for the developer that what's generated in this .t file may not be accurate, and they should swap out the implementation.

No, I don't want to harrass developers with false positive. The dynamic config is not always about dynamic dependencies. And for the case of dynamic dependencies the developer can have them reported by ReportVersions::Tiny by listing them explicitely with the 'include' config option. If a module is neither listed in prereqs or as an 'include' I think that I can safely assume that the developer is not interested in the reporting of its version. Show quoted text

I expect the developer to check the output of its testsuite before a release. Show quoted text

Of course harassing the users of this module with false positive warnings is a good way to make them not use it anymore. So I will not merge the second commit of your PR. Karen, to extend my knowledge of the dynamic_config use case I'm interested in CPAN distributions you may have seen in the wild that use ReportVersions::Tiny with dynamic_config.

Test::ReportPrereqs is now so mature that I will just mak ReportVersions::Tiny as deprecated and recommend Test::ReportPreqs for all uses.
