[Distutils] Reviving PEP 470 - Removing External Hosting support on PyPI

[Wes Turner]

"~0.4% of the total traffic
for that particular day." Thanks.

So, to clarify,
It will not be possible to host releases from external links to GitHub [1],
But it will be possible to host /simple/ packages index with e.g. gh-pages
and compoze [2]?
