If I can get consensus, I'm totally cool with actioning this case (flipping default installs to not include . in @INC by default) on top of a merge of the CPAN.pm and Test::Harness changes already released to CPAN. Leon, it sounds like this is what you're suggesting? We could then submit patches to the ~3700 modules just as a courtesy. As for the shim on CPAN, I don't see that it would make sense, since anyone who needs this simply needs to bootstrap Module::Install to work around it.
