IMO, the real issue is that the CPAN indexer and search are crap.
Really, it can't be *that* difficult to display the most recent
Catalyst version instead of some terribly old one.

However, I do think that sri could be more helpful on this matter,
since CPAN works in the bugged way it does. But as I remember from the
short time on IRC and mailing lists discussions where he was involved,
this will probably never happen (instead, we'll get a  "PATCHES
WELCOME" for the CPAN search or something like that ;-) ). And, of
course, this is something he has the right to do.

Anyway, I don't think this discussion thread will ever end up
generating productive results.
