It's not a problem, I think. There are some modules from well-respected authors in my prefs (and some well-respectful 
modules too), just because they don't fit my smokers. Or they just can take too long time because of my configuration 
(like ExtUtils-Install, its older versions scanned all installed modules, and I install everything while smoking). Or 
they were developer versions which had some problems (like Module-Build).

Regarding testing on Windows, some modules crash when using MinGW, some crash when it's MSVC. There's no single way and 
no Definitive Guide to CPAN Testing, really.
