Actually, being one of the two maintainers of the software, I do get comments in private email also, or in person (but of course you can't get access to *that*) > Do you really not see the difference between file hosting -- something > that, if I don't need I don't have to use -- and a > forced-upon-authors-by-fiat rating system? Of course I see a difference - I was just refuting your claim that "PyPI is a catalog. [...] Anything more dilutes the purpose and turns it into something political." As for forcing features onto authors - there have been vocal requests to reject packages from PyPI that don't also host their files on it.
