That=E2=80=99d make sense to me, deleting the old images and letting =
them just be on backpan. That should allow whatever tooling depends on =
recent releases being in the regular CPAN mirrors to still work.

Looking at 3 days of www.cpan.org <http://www.cpan.org/> logs only the =
most recent development image seems to have been downloaded more than =
the background noise of everything getting a request now and then =
because web crawlers. (And the most recent development image by just =
number of downloads recently is less popular than about a dozen very old =
not-development releases).

I put a CSV of the counts of =E2=80=9Cperl5-=E2=80=9C URLs temporarily =
