Perl already suffers from a perception of being "hard-core"; PHP has an image of being "easy-peasy" and attracts many young programmers. Let's give the new programmers an opportunity to see their name in lights (on CPAN), even if they (like most programmers) eventually shudder about over some of their code from earlier days.
But regarding the bigger issue of quality control on CPAN, how can we reward/highlight/promote the best of the bunch?
The Phalanx project is a big step forward in that direction, I think, because it helps me know which modules are the "biggies."
Let's do even more.
