I saw "TinyPerl 1.1 released" and it was the last straw. This is a practice which sems to ebb and flow, but it really irks me. It seems many people create new root nodes for the latest release of something they previously published in the monastery. This irks me to no end. It seems like unnecessary self aggrandizement, and a potential means of double-dipping. I think new versions should published as children of the original node, adding a note that the lastest code is in a child node. The new node could perhaps even be a patch; to facilitate commenting and voting on the "improvements". Doing such would also help keep search result lists cleaner.
