[Catalyst] IMPORTANT: Catalyst::Plugin::FormBuilder obsoleted by::Controller::FormBuilder

[Octavian Rasnita]

May I come with another suggestion?

I think the best would be to include in the Catalyst::Manual::Intro a list 
of "recommended modules" to use in Catalyst apps.
Those modules could be Controllers, plugins, and other modules which are 
recommended to be used. If there are debates about which of some modules for 
a certain takk should be used, all those modules should be presented, maybe 
even with a few words about each one.

This way, a new user will see the recommended list of modules right after he 
installs Catalyst, and finds what's good and what's not recommended to use.

On a new Catalyst version, that list might be changed if it would be 
necessary.
