I'm not sure we could make one. When upstream forks (or pseudo-forks
as seems to have happened here), we're going to have to figure out
what to do on a case-by-case basis.

I don't see that any of the basic issues are perl-specific.
Well, I was thinking something along the lines of "if a package is
flagged as 'unauthorized' in CPAN, don't take it until you figure out
why and verify that it is legitimate." But maybe that is assumed to be
common sense. :-)
