Good catch! Cleaning the list is going to be easy on the Python.org side, especially since a new Pypi site is in the making. [1] The harder or impossible part would have be to clean up the 1000+ of packages using this faulty classifier.... But there is really only three of these [2] and all of them look either pretty old or abandoned and none has its packages effectively hosted or distributed on Pypi.
