Currently, Rakudo Star will test each module it bundles before installing it. This takes a rather large amount of time, and it seems pointless to do as the results of the tests are not taken into account.
If the modules are version/author locked, the modules could be tested before the Rakudo Star release, to ensure the ones that are bundled are also passing their tests. The testing part could then be skipped by users completely. This would be the preferable way for things to be to me, but I am mostly looking to lower installation time of Rakudo Star altogether, so if it would be too much effort to lock modules on version number and author, just skipping tests completely would also be fine.
