Greets,

I've offered passthrough Makefile.PLs on my Module::Build-based distros for
the last few years, and they seem to have done what I needed them to do: stop
Makefile.PL loyalists from taking up my time with complaints.

However, I recently saw this on cpan-testers-discuss from David Golden:

    Module::Build::Compat must die. 

I've got a distro that requires Perl 5.8.3 or greater that's currently got a
passthrough Makefile.PL.  Should I zap it?  Would that help anyone out, at the
cost of possibly bringing up the noise floor by some unknown amount on my
support lists?
