You're very right. > not on too long a backlog on module registations. My main concern is that the backlog is non-deterministic. Some requests get honoured, some trigger a discussion (often with non-obvious outcome), some are just forgotten. > I think that the purpose of CPAN is to make it easier for module > users to find what they're looking for, I think (I have some humble opinions myself) that we have long passed the point that the module name (namespace) was a good indicator of what a module is about. Newer search techniques (do/will/can/must) compensate for that. -- Johan
