Well, I'd say not -1, nor +1. I think either name for the PyPI is ok.

I was trying to address the larger issue of confusion of terminology.
I think that no matter what you call the site, in common use users
will still catch themselves saying "get a package from the PyPI",
rather than "get a project from the PyPI". I mean, even some experts
here accidentally refer to distributions as packages.
