Of course it is. You could make this "packaging" as a documentation
detail, i.e., document that the default templating system is TT and
the default ORM is DBIC and so on. Maybe provide some more integration
layers that'd make them all work seamlessly.

There are two problems, however:
- What *exactly* should be done?
- Who's available to do it?

People who are experienced enough to know how to do this, usually,
won't see any value in doing it, since once you're done with your
rookie phase, things become much simpler - you get used to things the
way they are.
