What maintenance is required?

It's hard to say for sure, since that depends on what requirements come up in the future. One thing this certainly affects is the test suite which I plan to rewrite because I feel it is woefully inadequate. Removing mostly unused features helps reduce the effort required for that. Ditto for the general code refactoring which I'm also planning on doing.


Here's a link to the previous discussion of this issue:

"Remove or deprecate wheel-signing features"
https://github.com/pypa/wheel/issues/196

What has changed? There is still no method for specifying a keyring; whereas with GPG, all keys in the ring are trusted.

I am not changing the format of RECORD, I'm simply removing the
cryptographic signing and verifying functionality, just the way you
described. Hash checking will stay. As we agreed earlier, those
features could be deprecated or removed from the PEP entirely.

Cool, that's what I thought you meant, but I figured I should double check since our discussion was a while ago now :)

Cheers,
Nick.
