That makes sense. On the other hand, suppose that for some reason "ACME :: Visibility :: Public" was the only category listed for your software (or that you had a long list of ACME-specific categories, none of which are known to PyPI). What response would you expect when you uploaded it to PyPI? I would want an error, since the resulting package would not show up in any categories at all.
