That will be a massive increase in data volume.
I fail to see why. They are, after all, highly redundant and very gzippable. Also, users may freely specify version ranges that disallows minor versions, not only major ones.
I think there is a different reason for not providing all the version numbers. I've explained my proposal in the last reply. We shouldn't delegate the selection of the right generation to the client, because it doesn't have that information. Only the PAUSE will know the mapping from a specific version to a specific generation. There I think that PAUSE should tell the client the highest numbers of each generation.
In a general case that would be exactly the same as today. PAUSE will give the client only one version. Only those modules with special needs will have to tell PAUSE about that mapping.

Autrijus, if you don't mind I'd like to spec out those things first and only then implement them. So we know for sure that we talk about the same thing.
Thank you.
