As a programmer I'd say to hell with wasted memory, but as a product
manager, I'd say keep it in the current state until you come up with a
major upgrade (version 1.00, or something).
At this point I'd rather see DateTime as a possibly heavy, but reliable
reference point than to have its interface changed, so I can safely
recommend DateTime.pm to anybody, while sneaking things like DT::Lite as
a quick hack.
