Business can open and close whenever they please. Sounds like a hosting site for developers for me. The use case "everybody can do whatever they want" conflicts somewhat with the use case of being a system for others to access programmatically for package reuse. Anyway, to us city folk PyPI needs a few more guarantees; things that work in a small town don't always work in the city. >> or do we want PyPI being a well-managed place > > I think it's clear that PyPI won't ever be "managed", in any sense of > the word, except to make sure that you can't stomp on somebody else's > land (i.e. there is self-managed access control). What about making sure there's a historical record? No management built-into the system, but there is history.
