Yep, cutting back the supported file types in PyPI to only those used
by automated Python level clients (i.e. sdist, wheel, egg) was a
deliberate design decision: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0527/

That policy change means that platform specific installers (RPMs, MSI,
DMG, Windows exes) need to be hosted outside PyPI now, and the message
reported from twine about RPM being an unknown distribution format for
the Python level tooling is an accurate one.

Cheers,
Nick.
