As I've already said privately, but maybe we can see how others feel, this is a PERFECT time to discourage use_ok and require_ok and even deprecate them (though I doubt we can remove them completely). They've been broken for a long time, people have to work around their limitations, and they don't add value. http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/39859 I'm hard-pressed to think of a better time to at least slip a note in the docs that their use is discouraged.
