I realize I'm coming into this discussion a bit late, but I felt I needed to chime in. (I'm the author of Win32::SystemInfo.)

The Caveats section is large because they come directly from the Win32 MSDN documentation. I felt it necessary to provide this information to users of the module.

I agree that I haven't tested the module as extensively as I would like. However, there are quite a few people who do use the module so I'd wager that it has seen use on most "modern systems with modern Operating Systems".

I do have to take issue with the statement about not using the module in "stable production". I see no reason why this statement should be true. The module has evolved quite a bit since 2005 and I'd like to think that stability is something that has only increased over time.
