My only concern is that there is no reliable way to test that your README
will be parsed correctly. Is there a timeline for switch it to use
https://github.com/pypa/readme?

I would say majority of the time I do a release of the same version it's
because of the fragile rst parsing.

If I have to run the risk of bumping versions just to fix a valid
restructured text document to fit pypi parsing it'll make releasing a very
stressful experience.
