However, for some reason there's a strong resistance against doing this, which I frankly don't understand.
Because we're taking responsibility for the end-to-end user experience of PyPI, and are expressly trying to eliminate the elements of that user experience that are beyond the control of the PyPI admin team (even the question of "does this software actually work?" is in our sights if you consider a long enough time span). That's hard enough with just a couple of service providers (Fastly and Rackspace) in the mix - it quickly becomes impossible if every new dependency from an installation request adds a new point of failure.
