What about module upgrades?  E.g. didn't you notice recenet MakeMaker
changes with which, with INSTALLDIRS=vendor, you have to specify
INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT=/path/to/bindir, not simply INSTALLSCRIPT?

Something like changes all the time.  If you want pure-bugfix releases,
you cannot upgrade modules then.  There's no bugfix-only module releases
on cpan.  They just go ahead.
