I realize that. However, if we think that the latest Catalyst is stable 
enough, now is the time to act. A month from now will be definitely too 
late.

Two reasons:

The more important one is that whatever is in Lucid when it is released, 
will be there as default install for several years more - that is what 
LTS means. Advising everybody "oh, if you've got Ubuntu LTS, just scrape 
Catalyst off and install from CPAN" is a bad idea.

The less important reason is that is vastly easier to install Catalyst 
from aptitude than it is directly from CPAN. Particularly if I want it 
to update when critical fixes (or other upgrades) come through.
