Has some sort of disk quota system for CPAN author accounts ever been
considered?
Not specifically, no, at least not that I'm aware of. That would have to be
implemented on PAUSE and quotas frequently end up not solving the real problem
and create a headache both for the sysadmin and the users.
new proposal: Make modules "pay rent" in order to remain on a mirror.
Rent could be in the form of actual user interest, or good reviews.
Hmm, this can *only* work as long as that model is not applied to the
main server: Just because a module is seldomly used doesn't
automatically mean it is not vital to *someone*.
Modules that might fit into this category are many Acme modules. For
example, i use Acme::Don't sometimes, cause it's better better for
temporarly commenting out code sections than "if(0)"....
