I've given you loads of data including usage statistics, anecdotal data, user polling on Twitter (and I could add a link to Reddit now, but why bother). You've heard from dozens of people who're very invested in our community that this feature makes us look bad. You've countered it with a single user who likes the feature and claims of support in private email. Neither of us can prove we're speaking for a larger community. You have root so you get to rule by fiat, and I'm going to accept it and shut up, but don't you dare accuse me of representing a vocal minority when you're representing an even smaller one. This entire process leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. I hope you'll seriously consider what sort of message this governance model sends to the community. It leaves me absolutely unsure that PyPI represents my needs as a Python user.
