Can we get packaging fixed before we start jamming crap onto the tools?
Enough already. No. Just No. Never. Stop. Just stop. No. As a
user of these things, just stop right there.
I personally believe so, yes - sustaining software over the long term
is expensive in people's time, but it's often something we take for
granted. The specific example Guido brought up in his keynote was the
challenge of communicating a project's openness to Python 3 porting
assistance.
In the current user experience, if a project we use stops getting
updated, resentment at the lack of updates is a more likely reaction
for most of us than concern for whether or not the maintainer is OK.
Again, great idea. Does not need to be on the index. Does not even
need to be on the same infrastructure as the index. I can think of at
least four other places on the web where it will be better suited. If
the PSF wants to take charge of that, then super. Put it next to the
job board.
But if you really want to solve the problem through the index, just make
the link to SCM repos mandatory, and thats all you have to, and even
should, do.
