I think you understand my concerns regarding reliable packages being
built. And I trust in your senior skills and see where it leads :)

The commit-msg was a bit misleading and you might know ENOTIME issues ;)

But you might agree that the style of p5-IO-Async's Makefile is
optimal for your use-case. Digging ~700 entries in an additional table
in mk/ would complicate that decision.

Please feel encouraged to go ahead and take my concerns as a
chance to improve ;)
