Subject: decreasing versions
Versions with 2 dots are converted to real numbers. 0.1.1 means 0.001001. So 0.1 > 0.1.1. Versions with one dot are real numbers. So 0.9 > 0.10. Best is to delete distributions that have bigger versions that latest. Also it is a good idea to upload new distribution with correct version. In case of this distribution situation is worse because older (but with bigger version) distribution is still indexed because some module was removed in newer distribution. So fixing this problem is more important. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

This is fine and all, but as far as I'm aware no one actually uses E::P. So I'm inclined to just pull the distribution entirely.
