Okay, so this scenario is possible:

* developer of a popular package gets fed up for unknown reasons

* removes his package from PyPI (not realizing the thing below)

pypi could prohibit the reuse of deleted package names.
If a name was 'retired' for legal reasons, then it should stay retired anyway.
