Well, now we have one breakage point more which keeps annoying me.
We do? How?
Installations that mention a specific mirror in their configuration file (such as f.pypi.python.org) will break when the DNS name is removed.
Also, not everyone wants or needs auto-detection the way that the protocol describes it. I personally just hand-pick a mirror (my own, hah) and keep using that.
I agree that this is probably the best choice, and you can still do that.
See above. He did that, and the PyPI maintainers will break it. Regards, Martin
