I agree.
And I can think about a few scenarii where the names managment at PyPI will be a nightmare.
The PyPI manager will have to decide unilaterally the names to keep, the names to change, and he will need to maintain aliases for names that points to the same lib, to make both camps happy, and possibly keep backward compatibilities for those names.
I am proposing to remove the Requires-External completely from PEP 345, unless someone wants it badly. (And he/she will need to go into greater details in these scenarii)
- -1. I don't see a problem keeping it: it is "advisory" only. PyPI is not a consumer of this field, and should *not* be doing any enforcement / normalization / mapping of its values.
