It does? I thought PyPI kept everything around (but hidden) unless the

Sure, but owners *do* manually delete old stuff.
Am I wrong in remembering that old packages get dropped from the
simple index?
You are indeed misremembering. They used to, but don't, any longer,
on user request.
How many users? I'm thinking it might be better to meet this use
case the way pip does -- i.e., look up the specific version when a
specific hidden version is requested, but otherwise only show active
versions. The current behavior makes it harder for package authors
to control what versions are automatically installable by default.
