I'm inclined to agree with davido on this. I think it's safe to say, Everybody loves choice. Removing/changing en masse i think violates POLA. Ultimately causing unnecessary disappointment.

Do note; I completely understand your bringing this subject up again, marto, and at first, I felt inclined to agree. But after more thought. I think that while seemingly very helpful. Ultimately, maybe not the best solution.

Is it possible to perhaps create a banner on PM. For those days that the search CPAN, starts acting up? Could something like that be done, with relative ease? Or better, does anyone know why this happens so often? Really, with all the Perl people here. Someone must have a bit of insight.
