I didn't see such positions from package maintainers here. In fact i haven't seen anyone stepping up saying listing packages externally is a great idea. Could you point to those posts? However, I have seen concerns about breaking many people's and companies processes and thus thoughts on how to do a good transition. I guess you don't want to communicate to package-users the way you do above to package maintainers. best, holger _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
