I would support an option to purge automatically only if the default is NOT to purge. I don't think it's a good idea to make it hard for people to find older versions of a distribution -- where hard means "have to track it down on backpan". (Though we could make clients better about it, I supposed.) Of all the things I'd like to do with PAUSE, this feature is very, very low on my list. -- David
