new, newer, latest

I have started to look at the CPAN testers matrix for my CPAN distributions in order to see how things are looking from a general perspective.

This is quite a nice overview, but the other day something weird happened.

The latest non-developer release of Workflow is 0.31. But somebody decided to test release 0.15, which is perfectly fine with me, but it does screw up the matrix. The report is structured in such a way that it is the lists the distributions by version/release, last tested, not by latest release.

I have seen the same behavior before with cpan-testers and I wrote to acme about the same issue, but never got a response.

For all I care people can test what ever they want and they do a marvelous job, but as a maintainer I only have 0.15 in my Changes file and SCM, it is as such not supported since it was just a bump in the road/version on the road to 0.31 and on.

Perhaps it is just me lacking sleep.
