I too am in favour of getting rid of it. I have never used it, and I've never used the search.cpan.org directory either.
In fact, as a beginner, years ago, the www.cpan.org interface confused and frustrated me. It was so hard to find anything! Manually browsing the site has been painfully difficult and inefficient for a long time. The module list does little to improve that.
Nowadays, my only contact with CPAN is via search.cpan.org's query form and via CPAN.pm.
