Today the Schwartz Factor is up tp 0.1742 from 0.1732 the day before, the largest jump I have seen in a month. The effective size of CPAN only increased by a couple of kilobytes, but the real size shrunk by about 7 Mb, about 1% of what we need to reach Schwartz Factor 0.4. That includes distributions that were recently added, so a lot more than that was cleaned out.
I know that everyone has already scheduled their deletions through PAUSE and are only waiting for it to take affect. ;)
