"You've expended a lot of posts not trying to convince me of anything."

Well at least they're not costing me anything ;) My initial reply on this subject was to make you aware that what you suggested exists, to point out that it is referenced from search.cpan.org, and otherwise answer some other point or question you raised, or further the conversation. You make it sound as though I should not have done so unless I'm trying to convince you of something.

"That is a completely different subject."

Except when the subject under discussion is something you agree there is a need for but find deeply flawed. hippo linked to the thread where the maintainers welcome help to improve the system in question.
