Except then it also needs to tell you that there's a new Module::Starter
and Dist::Zilla and App::Builder and Tool::Belt and ...
But if you leave it out of CPAN|CPANPLUS, the trouble for each module is
to detect whether they've been superseeded when that they don't know
which index is up-to-date or which client the user prefers. There's
more than one way to do it and we can't tell which the user wants.
Of course, M::B could just set a best-if-used-by date in its code and
complain about that at `./Build dist` time.
