[Distutils] Re-uploading packages

Hi,

when developing bandersnatch I saw some checksum errors for the md5sums 
of downloaded package files that I didn't understand.
I just saw another one and just want to check back whether this is 
true: I can go to PyPI, delete a package version, and upload a 
different file later.

True?

This would explain that I can see a file that I downloaded successfully 
changing it's hash over time.

Feels like a bad idea to me, but I guess this is part of the "PyPI 
doesn't have an oppinion" deal …

Christian
