Let me just clarify two points here.

The suggestions were not on the list. The short conversation I had with
Zefram was in person. So there would be no RT tickets for these.

I agree that Plack. Dancer2, and Moose are too much. In fact, that is my

not a framework, provides a common use-case, and is (mostly)
unopinionated. I might not have done a good job of conveying that,
though. :)
