So... what does the A in CPAN stand for again?
Hang on... It's on the tip of my tongue...
I'm not sure how easy it would be to track #3, because people could be
downloading the modules from other sites, or in different packaged
formats. And I don't understand what the benefit of removing a
module would
be just because it isn't deemed to be immediately useful.
Noise reduction / cage cleaning basically.
Everything gets archived in backpan anyway - and I'm not necessarily
proposing removing things from CPAN - but if we could add some
metadata about whether a module was actively supported that alone
might be useful for people.
And actually I'm not really proposing anything concrete - just trying
to work out how we collectively feel on this topic.
