• The META.yml files in older versions of your distro can’t change even though the info in them would no longer be correct. • Doing this via META.yml means the only way to update this info is to push out a new release. Clearly this info should live somewhere and search.cpan should use it, but META.yml is the wrong place. It belongs somewhere unversioned. Unfortunately we don’t already have such a thing, and setting it up just for the bugtracker etc. info involves much bigger changes by more people than the incremental changes needed for doing that via META.yml, so there’s virtually no point in me pointing out that we could do better, but anyway.
