    Only as optional metrics please. I doubt IO::SendFile [cpan.org] or IO::Epoll [cpan.org] are ever going to work on Windows, no matter how much effort you put into it…

      So? There's nothing wrong with having unattainable kwalitee. Heck, your kwalitee could drop if the standard tests change. That's a good thing - hopefully as tests progressed more classes of bugs are tested for and that feeds into finding distributions which previously weren't tested for that.
      
      I figure it's normal for your "kwalitee" metric to decay over time just as a side effect of what kwalitee means changes while a distribution doesn't.

        Incidentally... I'd prefer if Test::Kwalitee were configurable on a distribution level so all the author tests could just removed from the distribution. I've recently started removing all the redundant author stuff from my distributions because I think they are either redundant code (all the pod stuff) or are harmful (all the signature stuff).

          I keep the POD tests, but having signature tests is utterly pointless.
