I think this is the only count on which adding this to Exporter is *not*
a no-brainer. And I don’t think you made the problem quite clear enough,
so allow me to copyedit you:
It may in practice make things worse [for users] – growing
dependencies – as [authors/maintainers] may be more open to
depending on a newer version of a core module than they would
be about depending on Sub::Exporter or other CPAN module.
In fact, even just declaring the fact that a module relies on a version
of Exporter new enough to have this feature will probably be an ongoing
source of bug tickets.
Otherwise I’m with Kent.
