For this to be efficient, it should be done soon enough to allow downstream projects to adapt their requirements.txt. Release managers: how much more effort would it be to upload current numpy to both numpy and numpylts?
I'm not quite sure I see the point. you would ask downstream to change `numpy` to `numpylts` instead of `numpy` to `numpy<2` ?
Also I think then you have the risk of having for example pandas saying `numpy<2` and scipy saying `numpylts` and now the pasckages are incompatible ?
The trouble is PyPi doesn't allow multiple branches. So if you upload NumPy 2.0 wheels, then you cannot turn around and upload 1.18.X bug-fix patches. At least, this is my understanding of PyPi. -- Robert McLeod, Ph.D. robbmcleod@gmail.com robbmcleod@protonmail.com www.entropyreduction.al
