Thats more a tenet of how Ricardo Signes (the dzil author) likes to
work than a core assumption of Dist::Zilla.

The only modification Dist::Zilla does of my distributions is to add
$VERSION variables to my packages with the PkgVersion plugin. You can
skip even that and manually upgrade $VERSION like you do now.

There's no reason why Catalyst distros cant work with dzil.ini that I
can see. Are there hooks available for catalyst.pl so that it can
generate Dist::Zilla based distros instead of using Module::Install?
