Is there some statistics about the XML-RPC interface available somewhere
(so we can put in perspective the use of XML-RPC and the use of simple
index)?
In packaging we prefered the use of the simple API over the XML-RPC
interface but in some edge-cases we need to rely on XML-RPC (like search
on something else than the name of the project).
Because XML-RPC is not mirrored as the simple API is, this can sometimes
block the install process. Having a way to mirror it can be a way to
avoid such blocking behaviour when in case the central PyPI server goes
down.
