Hello Shawn,

sorry for the late response. I'm CCing module-authors becase you did not
explicitly specify that you wish this reply to be kept private.

people often need to reboot for new kernel / new libc / system update /
etc. or they need to restart their browsers because they either crashed or
started consuming too much RAM (and as you may know - browsers like Firefox
or GChromium have recently become memory hogs).

I suppose I can convert to use GitHub Issues / GitLab Issues / Bitbucket
Issues / etc. - at least for my own CPAN distributions - but this will
involve a lot of manual tweaking and uploading new versions. Perhaps it
will be the last straw for creating my own Dist Zilla PluginBundle.

You can never truly appreciate The Gilmore Girls until you've watched it in
the original Klingon.
