I was also wondering whether - given that backpan exists so people can
always find them if they really want them - there shouldn't be a
mechanism for removing modules that are unloved and unused.
That strikes me as a little severe. Some may be packaged with OS
distributions.

For that reason attempting to do any completely automated garbage

automatically identify modules that /might/ be dormant and then
manually sift through them.
Trying to change Cpan is likely to be hard:
