I think it would be nice if the PLaneT server exposed a public HTTP + 
JSON interface.  Even one that only dumped the entire set of PLaneT 
package metadata, without detailed querying, would be helpful.

Currently, with the PLaneT server providing only the HTTP + HTML 
interface, one would have to scrape PLaneT with the "html-parsing" 
library or similar.  (You definitely don't want to know how the McFly 
Tools package currently implements checking what are the current PLaneT 
versions.)

Maybe, if someone volunteers to do an implementation of a simple 
dump-all-metadata HTTP + JSON interface, it could be deployed at some 
point.  To make deploying it practical, I imagine the implementation 
would have to be of conspicuously high quality; otherwise, merely 
vetting someone else's code can be much more work than simply 
implementing it oneself in the first place.
