ISTR the Test::More problem was reported by Linus, who is a Fedora user?
I tried searching for any reasonable information on which of the core
perl modules are installed by default on Fedora systems, but didn't come
up with anything useful.

I really have no clue as to what is out there, and I suspect we must
either play it totally safe, or push the limits and wait for people to
complain about breakage.
