Agreed.
4/ let's change PyPI to make it work with the new metadata and to
enforce a few things
Enforcements:
- a binary distribution cannot be uploaded if a source distrbution
has not been previously provided for the version
Note that this doesn't allow closed-source packages to be uploaded; thus
it would need to be a warning, rather than a requirement.
This is an important point. We can't assume any one repository will have
all needed packages.
It could only do this for specific binaries, since dependencies can be
dynamic.
They should not be dynamic :-(
