Given limited feedback and none negative I’m going to move ahead with this.
Thanks All!

What about an approach where pip first tries the canonical name, and if
that fails, tries the exact given name?
Seems to me like that should handle legacy mirrors without the big download.

And by canonical I mean normalised.

download.

Right now pip (and originally setuptools, which does it as well) will do this
sort of dance when looking for things on the PyPI simple index. This isn't the
actual code though:
thing_to_install = foo==1.0
page = None
if thing_to_install.contains(==): # First look at a versioned url
