I don't want to release a new dist just to add a tag to my module.
It's a one-time cost. Some benefits I see: * definitive to a release and static once a distribution is released * automatically syndicated via CPAN mirrors * can be examined from tarballs in offline minicpan repositories If you really want it on a web-site, just go expand the "module metadata" section on PAUSE. (I.e. set module-data for all "first-come" modules just like "modulelist" modules.) (Which reminds me to go update my module metadata on CPAN::Reporter since I've changed license and abstract since I first registered. The changes are in my META.yml, of course, but I forgot about PAUSE.) David
