That should immediately make us suspicious, then. If PyPI is for anything, surely it is for the package recipients *more than* for package developers. > Instead, they are to the package authors, which don't have to change > their release processes (as also described in this thread). The needs of package developers are important, of course; but, I argue, always in the service of making packages available to recipients.

That isn't a good argument. By the same logic, PyPI should not reject *any* upload, to avoid “forcing” uploaders to do extra work. No, PyPI needs to reject uploads on some criteria; those criteria will necessarily involve work (whether manual or automated) on the part of uploaders. This discussion is about what those criteria should be. -- \ “Why was I with her? She reminds me of you.
