Thanks for bringing this up.

Well, that's sad news.

Regarding the change, it's good they will keep the old URLs
working, quoting:

    Shortly, a link will be added to all pages on
    search.cpan.org to inform users of the upcoming change.
    After about a month, all traffic will be redirected
    to the equivalent MetaCPAN page.

I vaguely remember there were some differences between
cpan.org and metacpan.org in what they considered released
vs. in development.  Some of the packages I was maintaining
were affected by that.  I suppose that's no longer an issue
given that MetaCPAN is going to be the only source.

I wonder if creating a "CPAN URL" macros for URL and Source
would make sense in the long term + to clean the SPEC files
but I wouldn't want to overengineer things here :)
