While updating dev-perl/Module-Build from v0.420.500 to v0.421.400 I saw

Note:
<<Checking optional features...>>

This is non-serious and is just a "hey, you can optionally upgrade this, and upstream recommends it, but you don't have to".

If there is some other reason for this request other than that, ( or that you would wish the warning to be nuked somehow with a patch ), then we can revisit this =).
