This is why I don't like Catalyst.  Sure, it's a nice framework.
Trouble is, people abuse it, and they all seem to abuse it in different
ways, and each individual abuse seems reasonable at the time.  I expect
that many of these abuses are the result of not knowing everything there
is to know about Catalyst and having to get something working quickly.

Of course, a framework where it was only possible to do things in one
way would be useless, so we're fucked either way :-)
