Note that even a requirement to upload a package to PyPI won't reliably solve Andreas' problem, the package owner could remove a release or even the entire package. In an ideal world there would be no reasons for removing a package, but as we don't live in such a world there are valid reasons for wanting to remove a package. One example is being sued by some organization that claims you're using their IP without a license. Ronald
