Yada, yada, yada. I've been hearing people crying "Booh! It can be so much better!" about CPAN for more than 10 years. But here we are, 10 years later, and noone has created the better alternative to CPAN yet. Lots of talk, but noone actually did much work in creating an alternative.

I'm fine with someone saying I want my CPAN to do this. And I'm fine with someone saying, I am going to write an alternative. But there's little I am going to... in the post I was replying to, and there's no and this is what I've already done at all.
