Hey y'all,

I had sent a private message to bdfoy about this, but he suggested I
present it to the list to be discussed.

On the aforementioned blog post, Ether mentions an interesting case where
old releases by other authors are obviously not cleaned up. Specifically,
I'm interested in the case where I've taken over the maintenance of a
module from someone who is now inactive.

I've done several releases of Statistics::R and Geo::IPfree over the last
few years. The versions found in GMPASSOS's directory are clearly obsolete.
Although they're not doing any harm, should they be cleaned? GMPASSOS won't
be doing it -- is this stepping over acceptable boundaries for a PAUSE
admin to clean them?

FWIW, I'm fine with leaving them be, but I thought the question should be
asked.
-Brian
