Why would they stop uploading? How would they, the new uploaders, even know about CPANTS? It's not like uploaded files automatically return a scathing email and an html response page that says your "module sucks; failed CPANTS kwalatee. Go away".
This is no different than CPAN Testers. I can upload dists till the cows come home. If my module failes every single cpan testers report, who cares? That doesn't stop or disuade people from uploading does it? Of course not, so why would CPANTS kwalitee be any different?
