Hi folks --
Just got another one of these:
From: PyPI operators<rich...@python.org>
Subject: New rating on Django
[REPLIES TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT GO TO THE COMMENTER]
xen has rated your package as 0/5. Comment (optional):
I'd like to ask, again, to turn off ratings on PyPI packages.
How is this feature helpful to anyone at all?
* It's not helpful to me as a maintainer: I have no idea *why* "xen"
gave this rating.
* It's not helpful to users: they have no idea what "0" means.
* It's not helpful to "xen": his feedback can't be acted upon, so
we'll never be able to aprove.
* It's not helpful to PyPI: what value does "0/5" provide to a catalog?
* It's not helpful to the Python language: how does "0/5" in any way
help Python users choose tools?
PyPI is a catalog. Naive rating/voting features aren't part of that
mission. Can we please turn this ill-considered, useless feature off?
