I think the history is this: - originally, the index page listed all packages, and there were only query parameters - I then added support for a URL structure at some PyCon sprint, implementing /, /package, and /package/version - at some point, the standard index was replace with the current home page, probably because the full index is expensive to generate. So I don't think that /pypi should be restored to answer the index - the current approach (home page) seems fine to me. I also don't think that /pypi/ should be dropped, if setuptools is using it. So while I see the inconsistency and subtlety, I don't think anything can, or should, be done about it. In any case, I added a link in the navbar pointing to that list (for ease of implementation, using the query parameter). So the /pypi/ form remains unlinked - I don't see a problem with doing so. There are many other unlinked URLs in PyPI, too.
