Older than 3 (or 6?) months and at least 2 or 3 (or more?) newer releases or some such. I like that solution better, BUT, there's a significant chance that some things will fall through the cracks (for authors who don't get the notices, for example), and because we put out release software on the CPAN that people rely on, I have to agree with Jarkko and vote to err on the side of safety first. I'd rather spend more energy getting people to opt in, than opt them in by default. -- Chris Nandor [email protected] http://pudge.net/ Slashdot / Geeknet [email protected] http://slashdot.org/
