It's complicated because the release manager's guide (RMG) wants
version bumps for stable at a different point in time than for dev
releases and the Module::CoreList update is in between.

It's also tricky because for a dev release, we need Module::CoreList
shipped to CPAN with the dev release which the RMG says to nag BinGOs
about and we can't bump the perl dev version in Module::CoreList until
after that happens.

That said, I think it's just a matter of saying "once Module::CoreList
ships, update it *again* for blead".

I'll put a note in the RMG to look at it during my release this month.
