All, I’m unclear who decides if it’s OK for me to delete the dev versions of Perl I’ve done. I’m happy to do it. Maybe we should put a policy or suggestion into the release manager’s guide as a first step?

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).
