Funny. I currently loathe this practice, and I blame myself.
On any other system, I can change things without doing source merges
when an upgrade comes out. So why do good Cat apps have to be any
different. The more I work on Mango, the more I have people just using
and changing the app, rather than making it all base software, with
creation-isms, like catalyst.pl. the more I hate it.

The killer is the templates. Custom app modules can inherit from Base
software modules. Templates can't...easily, if all. If we could figure
that out, all would be better imho.
