If I understand you correctly, you are essentially suggesting that it becomes impossible to ever delete anything uploaded to PyPI, i.e. turning PyPI into a WORM.
From a user perspective this means that it's possible for a release to be withdrawn, but replacements will always be new versions, and if I download a particular version, what I get won't depend on when I do
My understanding (I'm sure Donald will correct me if I'm wrong) is that it will still be possible to delete files. What will *not* be possible will be to later upload a replacement for a deleted file which contains different content. the download. This seems like a good thing to me. Paul
