Hi Andy -

Why should I release my software on CPAN if part of the price of entry is being spammed and told what I should be doing?

Although the remark about CPAN authors' jobs was worded less than optimally, part of the context of it was that these reports should not get emailed directly to the authors from the testers. That sounds like a point of very widespread agreement. It allows interested authors and interested users to optionally check on test results.

It also sounds like there is work being done to cut down on some of the toolchain problems that get reported as failures.

Do these two things help make the CPAN Testers stuff more useful or at least less annoying for you?
