I'm updating my existing packages, but I have zero interest in publishing new packages to PyPI while it's trying to be a popularity rating and comment system.
That's distressing. For better or worse PyPI is the central repository of 3rd party packages.
That's exactly what we want it to be. The problem is the current implementation is diluting that focus and making it much less attractive to have one's packages there. -- \ “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action, according to our | `\ will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of | _o__) others.” —Thomas Jefferson | Ben Finney
