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... - ask
