Greetings effbot. :)
As you might already know, "eggs" are not mandatory for pypi. No where
in the documentation it mentions so. Also many good packages in pypi
are not eggs (MaL's egenix packages for e.g) and we have known his
dislike for that particular format too.
But still, sometimes people have found eggs to be convenient.
That was a particularly harsh comment from jensens, should be ignored
or he should be corrected that eggs are not mandatory.
But, i have a feeling that this is going to open up the well known,
can-of-worms on what is the best distribution format for python
packages debate.
