Namespace pollution
Arggh! Enough with the bloody vanity pseudo-pragmas and other modules to enable some combination of features-you-love-and-so-should-everyone-else sprinkled all-over CPAN. Create a bloody ToolSet or ToolSet::Bundle. That's what they're for, and it keeps all of that crud^Wbeauty collected together for ready comparison and retrieval.

Actually, I gave two ways :-P
And I suppose they could put something into that namespace which is not implemented with either of them. While the name might not then be hierarchically correct i.e; implied inheritance is missing; at would be thematically correct.
Regardless, the "prohibition" against non-pragmatic lowercase module names is not mine.

At work, we've been discussing the idea that we could push all these zealots and their pragma congloberations into one namespace...
Some kind of use Zealotry::CHROMATIC, use Zealotry::MLEHMAN, etc would be interesting I think. :)

Heh-heh. Sounds good. Actually Zealotry::MONS [cpan.org] is the straw that broke the camel's back as it were, but the foundation was laid by others.
