I think part of the problem is that those with a desire to do something about it are not really in the position to do so.
What do I have to patch to change search.cpan.org, or who has to agree to changes to CPAN itself?
I don't really think that dismissing an unsolved problem as being not worth solving because it hasn't been solved is that logical.
While I agree that this does come up regularly I see that as a sign that either people don't understand something or that there really is a problem.
Personally I was thinking and have discussed a number of a times in other forums the idea of a "Selected CPAN" where modules would only go if they somehow satisifed some set of yet to be defined criteria.
But the problem is that this wouldn't make a lot of sense to do without doing so alongside the current CPAN.
Anyway,
Yves
