So, given this reality, what should we conclude? Well first of all, any conversation here does not mean much unless Jarkko hears about it somehow.

How does that possible follow from your previous statements? A conversation anywhere means everything, whether or not Jarkko hears it. I could discuss CPAN's direction right here with you, we could decide to provide an alternative and tomorrow there would be one. Where does Jarkko come into the picture? CPAN could be completely replaced without Jarkko hearing about it, so why is such a conversation meaningless until we notify Jarkko?

I should note that I don't program (much) in Perl anymore, haven't seen anything wrong with how CPAN has been run, and have a lot of respect for Jarkko, so I'm not advocating any change whatsoever. I am, however, a little confused as to how you reached the above conclusion.
