What was the first version that defaulted to /simple? I still see many
users using 0.6c5. The oldest version that still had more than 100
accesses in November was 0.6c2 (used together with Python 2.1, 2.4, and
2.6). Do you have a feeling what "enough people" would be?
Ouch. 0.6c9 is over a year old, so 0.6c5 is quite
ancient. Checking the revision history, 0.6c7 changed the default
URL to use the /simple index, and 0.6b4 added support for 'rel' link handling.
That means that any requests from a "setuptools" user-agent (that
string was added in 0.6c1) should be safe to rewrite (not redirect,
alas) as /simple/ when they request /pypi/. Any agents older than
0.6c1, however, can't even be detected.
Do you have any stats on hits by "python urllib" user agents to the
/pypi/ page? My guess is that these will all actually be pre-0.6c1
setuptools instances.
