It's certainly an official interface, and this dataset is actually also intended for applications like yours (the local-stats pages are only intended for the mirroring infrastructure itself).
Is there some statistics about the XML-RPC interface available somewhere (so we can put in perspective the use of XML-RPC and the use of simple index)?
In packaging we prefered the use of the simple API over the XML-RPC interface but in some edge-cases we need to rely on XML-RPC (like search on something else than the name of the project).
Because XML-RPC is not mirrored as the simple API is, this can sometimes block the install process. Having a way to mirror it can be a way to avoid such blocking behaviour when in case the central PyPI server goes down.
