I think you are missing the most important argument. Often third-party package authors do not provide binary packages for all systems when they put a new release on pypi. This then will break the tg installation for people who do not have compilers and/or appropriate dev packages installed. Though I'm not sure if tg2 still has dependencies on binary packages, please correct me, if my point is irrelevant. I think the point of the index is NOT to always provide the latest release of all dependency packages but a set of dependencies that is known to work with the specific tg release. People you know how to use easy_install can always use pypi to upgrade their dependencies selectively if they want,.
