I tend to generally agree that a lot of "Catalyst::Plugin::*" stuff is a 
"giant bag of Blue meth" that we all need to ween ourselves off of. 
Config structures and logging implementation are always best 
"externalized" along with general Domain logic with any application. By 
"externalized" I mean, outside the "framework" in a manner that they 
just work when implemented by themselves, without the "framework's" help.

At the risk of entering into a rant, I prefer a class factory approach 
to applying "Roles/mixins" to plain classes. Something that the Java 
"POJO" crowd got right.

Keen to fix up a lot of this stuff. As simply moving "::Plugin*" guff to 
applied roles, Probably code cahanges and new modules in preference to 
'Plugin', and Ideally having good DI on top of Catalyst. That is 
sensibly consumed. It would be nice to pull in config and service 
locators from something external and that was itself configuration file 
aware.

BTW. Good work on the native file handle and psgi.streaming support, +If 
#miyagawa will patch up Plack::Util::content_length as suggested, then 
Catalyst in new release should work just the same as before but with new 
improvements and performance.
