All problems we fixed in 1.402 are found by cpantesters - and it were
serious issues.

My favourite would be a

                      +-------------------+
                      | DBI(::DBD)?::Test |
                      +-------------------+
                                /\
                                 |
                                 |
                                 |
             +-------------------+--------------+
             |                                  |
    +----------------+                       +-----+
    | SQL::Statement |                       | DBI |
    +----------------+                       +-----+

And it seems to be okay for all DBI developers right now ...
