Is there any plan also to work on an updated and better version of Pypi, I mean, i understand that we need to work on the infrastructure and make sure it will handle the load.
But i also think that the current codebase of Pypi would need be updated. Is there any plan refactored in part of this work ? i Suspect that this is something we'll have to do one day another if we want continue to integrate things in it, to add feature...
