I didn't see such positions from package maintainers here. In fact
i haven't seen anyone stepping up saying listing packages externally
is a great idea. Could you point to those posts?
The position Andreas probably means is projects that *do* advertise
themselves on pypi, but don't put their files there.
I have seen that position in this discussion ("I have to upload 120
files per release, so I won't do that", for instance).
Some arguments might be valid, but these projects *are*, taken as one
group, actively breaking pip and buildout regularly.
So I agree with Andreas. I don't really care about "the arguments pulled
out every time". Effectively actively breaking pip and buildout is bad,
period.
