Very, very definitely!

As useful a feature as this is, it's a subtle and hard to find bug as  
well.  We'd best document it.

Even better would be a way to specify what you wanted explicitly, in  
a self documenting fashion, e.g.:

use Catalyst qw/a big list of plugins and other stuff goes here/;
use Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple qw /no_auth/;        or
use Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple qw /with_auth/;
