I think it "improves the universe" by letting the community flag abandon-ware in a consistent, centralized way (because it winds up mirrored in 06perms). Imagine if metacpan used it to flag modules as unmaintained in search results. I don't think that's a trivial benefit. That said, I'm not the one volunteering to do the work -- partly because I'm already the one volunteering to keep our ID request turnaround time under 24 hours. But if others were willing to do the work or we could recruit some others, I'd be in favor of such a change.
