21:54 < ether> so I was reading the review of module dependency modules -
http://neilb.org/reviews/dependencies.html - and I read "...This
module is no longer supported: its CPAN support status is
'abandoned'. So don't use it. " - and I thought "that's probably
a flag set on the dist in PAUSE. It would be cool if
metacpan.org indicated that status directly, so I'd know it was
abandoned."

21:54 < ether> so here I am, dipping a toe in the milky pool of opinion
22:05 < rwstauner> ether: interesting, i hadn't heard of that status
22:05 < rwstauner> feel free to open a gh issue for it :-)
22:58 < grantm> I'm not sure it's an official status - possibly just something
that NeilB inferred from the "See Also" section in the POD
23:07 < omega> I guess one could add something to META at least
23:16 < grantm> I stand corrected - you can set a "Support level" status of
"abandoned" via PAUSE and this is reflected in the DSLIP data
in 03modlist.data.gz
23:16 < grantm> definitely sounds like something metacpan should make visible
23:24 < omega> yeah, with a cool ribbon or something, to encourage people to
set the flag :P
23:51 < grantm> omega: I dunno about a ribbon, how about an icon of a puppy
with big sad eyes? :-)
