[Catalog-sig] V3 PEP-draft for transitioning to pypi-hosting of release files

[Marcus Smith]

In addition, maintainers of installation tools are asked to release
> two updates.  The first one shall provide clear warnings [...]
> The second update for installation tools should change the default
> mode to allow only installation of package files hosted at the index
> domain,


sounds good to me.


It is expected that tools in this release may choose to change the
> default index url to ``https://pypi.python.org/simple/-with-ext``<https://pypi.python.org/simple/-with-ext>in
>

so, *eventually*, the /simple interface (that has been transitioned to only
serve pypi links) could be deprecated?
(because new tools would be smart enough to responsibly navigate
 /simple/-with-ext)

but slightly ironic that we'd be left with an interface called
"simple/-with-ext", given the goal of all this, but it makes sense.
