It *may* be worth hacking in special case handling for the packages already hosted externally, but we can do that as exactly that (i.e. a special case providing a legacy bridging mechanism until a better solution is available), rather than as an indefinitely supported feature.
Hmm, I'm not aware of any concrete suggestions along those lines. According to the PEP, 3 months after it is implemented all projects on PyPI will be in pypi-only mode, and all of the other legacy modes will be unavailable, and unused. No external links will be visible, no link-scraping will occur, and the relevant code could be removed from installer tools such as pip.
Are you suggesting that this shouldn't occur?
I'm saying we can look at the numbers at the end of the grace period and decide what to do then :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
