This is one of my (dare I use the terms) pet peeves. I'm looking for a module, and I stumble against someone who "just has some ideas" out there, are incomplete or error filled, etc -- CPAN should be an archive of working code, and incomplete and non/working code should be kept in a real version management system. If CPAN wants to host some RCS, that would be fine -- but until there is a development, testing, and release branch for modules (like Debian maybe), we shouldn't be placing modules out there unless they have usable features and are fairly stable.
