Structurizing the information. e.g. having a standardification of the information about the project, that is more detailed than a free text like we have in Description, and letting PyPI presenting this information in separated parts, rather than in one single block. Last, providing to the developers conventions to follow on the information they can provide about their projects, and how it'll be displayed at PyPI. IOW, expecting to find in the same place on a project's PyPI page, for every project uploaded at PyPI, a link to the repository, changelog and bug tracker. So I guess you are also against the addition of "Repository-URL" and "Bug-Tracker-URL" too ? Since those can be links in the long_description as well.
