That's an interesting view and maybe you are right.

I took it more to mean that the current system is less than ideal and  
all you need to do is produce a significantly better application,  
which some think github is, to capture some mindshare.  I seriously  
doubt it's likely that a new Perl repository will dethrone the CPAN by  
comparison.
