It depends I guess on whether tools like bandersnatch/devpi/etc want to offer it. Given that this is all brought on by a PR to bandersnatch it appears that there is a reasonable argument that it is something that those tools want, and standardizing it is a good idea.</div><br class=""><div class="">
