In our private readonly pypi we have 93 releases. I don't think that burden should fall on pypi. However, it's not clear to me if I should push micro releases to pypi and then remove them when another release is made. Is there a way to remove a 'release' completely?

I did try to reduce my manylinux sizes by using a library of shared object codes (ie a .a built from the PIC compile objs), but I didn't seem able to make this work properly; the resulting .so seems to contain the whole library (freetype).
