Oh, I still would try to get that enabled from a distro perspective. But that's something, a distro CI could provide feedback here. I think providing/updating distro packages is quite comparable to updating pypi packages. Maintaining an additional set of packages is just wrong IMO. Nevertheless, that might be required for a transitional phase.
