That, sometimes a huge, throw the baby out with the bathwater, rewrite by a separate team (via MetaCPAN) is the correct way to go to move forward?

Or, that CPAN's greatest worth is the modules themselves and not the search engine of the modules?

What's it tell you?

Anyways, thanks for all the search.cpan.org memories. I feel that I have memories pre 2002 of the site (maybe I'm wrong?)

Metacpanhas been around for at least 5 years. It was always intended as a search.cpan.org replacement.
