Some sort of agreement should be necessary from *current*
CPAN developers. Unless you own the site, that is...but don't want
to step on toes of active developers.

I don't want to go off and have another interface without cleaning
up the one that is *most* visible, and most advertised in the process.

Some possible guidelines:

1) adding separate domain names (may go to same site but with different
params used for search and such) "archive.cpan.org" and "devel.cpan.org".
