Thomas, I am pointing out that your current exhibition of entitled behaviour across multiple venues (as represented by the specific sentence I quoted) is problematic. Please stop trying to crack the whip and generate an artificial sense of urgency - software publication and distribution is a complex problem, and most of the current challenges in the PyPI ecosystem stem from an ongoing lack of funding which requires organisational change moreso than technical change. While various folks are working on that, it's mostly not a distutils-sig level problem, but rather a question for the PSF and for commercial Python redistributors. If you're looking to provide information, or ask if a particular solution that seems obvious to you would be feasible in practice, then do that. The one thing I am asking you to STOP doing is combining your questions with exaggerated hyperbole that's designed to make volunteers feel bad. Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
