This module is completely deprecated. We don't know of anyone who actually uses it, nor would we recommend ever touching it. One should use either Moo or Moose and get off this package as soon as possible. We have no intention of supporting it at all. Would it be possible to deprecate this package in Debian as well?

That's a good idea. @Dam: I'll merge your patch and release soon. As sawyer suggests, do you have anything depending on Coat ? I suspect so, if you still have it, but it's worth double-checking. If not, can it be deprecated at some point ? dams.

Sorry, I didn't mean to "flog" you, just to point out that as comaint, I had a different opinion and position than what you were stating as The Truth. Including me into it (by using "we") was what triggered my will to speak for myself.
