So somehow I got dragooned into speaking at the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop
(which is held only a couple miles from where I live, so it was hard to
say no).  A portion of what I had to say was that CPAN seemed to be a
lot better-run than pgfoundry.

So ... I couldn't help noticing that the consensus among the Perl guys
seemed to be that "90% of what is on CPAN is unmaintained crap".
(They agree however that the other 10% is what makes it worth doing; and
furthermore that you can't easily tell which fraction any new project
will fall into.)

Maybe pgfoundry isn't doing so bad after all.  Just sayin'.
        regards, tom lane
