A few responses I already have the answers to:

As well as use implicitly loading the latest version of module where the version is unspecified, and the specified version when requested, the ability to hold debug and/or development versions within the same libtree and request they be loaded would be handy.
According to S11, there are three items that determine what gets loaded:
1. Module name
2. Module version range
3. Module "authorizing authority URI" (usually author).
So, you can have the C6PAN version and the debug version and it will "Just Work".
An tool equivalent to Module::Starter that created a development skeleton in-situ would complete the toolset.
The distro builder would have this action. There's no reason why it should be separated.
Random thought. I wonder if there is any scope/merit in adding svn source control into the mix?
I don't think so. For one thing, SourceForge is still CVS. Another is that some prefer svk over svn and (as I discoverd on feather) they're not identical.
Parrot loading bytecode
This seems to indicate that Parrot is the thing we're installing modules for, not Perl6. So, we would have a module installer for each VM Perl6 targets? We have to reinstall eveyr time Parrot is upgraded? I'm not sure I like that ...
Maybe, instead, we should be looking at caching the bytecode from the module and it's used unless either Perl6 or Parrot or the module has changed? That would seem to be something for "use"/"require" to do ...

In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)
