Which parts do you disagree with?

Do you disagree that code is dead upstream, and perhaps believe it is 
simply some temporary hickup causing the code to not appear at CPAN?

If you agree that code is dead upstream, but disagree that we have taken 
over?  Or only *how* we should take over?

Bug title needs adjusting too - to reflect whatever it is this bug 
really means.

I think we can agree at least to strip last part: Interface of URI is 
not identical, even if it covers all of its functionality.
