</div>I'm giving up. Who, inside ActiveState, have you talked to who said<br>
that ActiveState wants to use pubsubhubbub for receiving change<br>
notifications from PyPI? I suppose the answer is "Nobody" - you<br>
are just *assuming* that ActiveState may want to use pubsubhubbub.</blockquote><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div>If I might, I, as a community member, would like to use pubsubhubbub. I've had 2 occasions on projects where it would have proven useful, both needed to be notified of updates to specific packages, but had nothing directly to do with downloading and installing packages.<div>
