Does this mean that best practice for M/V/C dists like
Catalyst::View::TT or Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema should be to
require Catalyst but make Catalyst::Helper merely recommended in the
Build.PL/Makefile.PL/whatever when this goes live?  The presumption
being that for the simple deployment of a fully developed production
application, one doesn't need/use the Helper side of the Model/View?
