I don't know the specifics in this case, but many smokers pull the list of distributions to test from the CPAN recent uploads feed. So once you release something, broken or not, it may wind up in a testing queue. Also, PAUSE deletions are scheduled, not immediate, so a broken tarball may persist for a while. Finally, CPAN Testers run off CPAN mirrors. Depending on how up to date a mirror is, "updated packages" is relative. Certainly a future feature of the notification system may be to filter reports for older releases, but as Barbie pointed out, we're not there yet. -- David
