Regrettably, it's unlikely that even newer versions of these modules will be used:

It's nothing specific against your modules, but their small impact coupled with the small impact of several other "global scope" modules has created a large impact in terms of performance, bugs, and time spent resolving these issues.

Also, 20 seconds seems like a lot, but our test suite was taking almost 11 minutes to run at the time we removed it and thus 20 seconds was only about 3% of the entire runtime. However, finding just a few modules to remove which gain us 20 seconds each and we can quickly and easy gain a 10% improvement in our test suite (just yesterday I shaved 50 seconds be reimplementing part of Test::Strict internally, but we're up to over 16 minutes again). We have to be aggressive about test performance because it's a huge drain on resources.
