A Modern namespace is bad, for aside from the problem you mention, it implies the standard is somehow antiquated.

If you only get implication from that, I haven't said it strongly enough. There is no good reason that the best features of the newest Perl 5 releases are only available to people who know the secret magic incantations to enable them.

This strikes me as a somewhat defensive reaction (marketing ploy?)....

It's not. It's an attempt to be somewhat less hostile to novices by encouraging them to develop good habits to write more maintainable Perl.

Stick with something less ambiguous and more to the point, I say.

The least ambiguous option I devised was Make::Default::Perl::Not::Suck, and that has its own flaws -- not in the least that it brings to mind dependency graph resolution engines.
