### release.status and file.status
108+
109+
Release status is "cpan" by default. When a file is deleted, its status
110+
changes to "backpan". MetaCPAN::Script::Latest is in charge of marking
111+
Releases as "latest" when they're in PAUSE's 02packages file (and demoting
112+
previous "latest" Releases back to "cpan"). The status field of Files is just
113+
a copy of their Release's status (I **think**).
