I like it.

I agree with Jarkko that there should be a way to "pin" some versions and the 
configuration should be "more than N newer releases" or some such.

I think it should be on by default though.  Older than 3 (or 6?) months and at 
least 2 or 3 (or more?) newer releases or some such.

For most authors this won't change anything -- but it'll help those who 
unhelpfully _never_ delete anything.

On Search CPAN maybe BackPAN could be used to pull in older versions for diffs 
etc...
