Often when a new version of a distro comes out I find myself using the
nifty search.cpan.org 'diff' feature to discover precisely what's
changed from the previous version.  Perhaps if everybody was better at
writing change-logs that wouldn't happen, but I still think leaving one
previous version around is handy; it also makes it easier for people who
encounter bugs to determine whether they are regressions.
