Thank you Paul for being the BDFL-Delegate and thank you everyone for
participating! I'm happy to have this finally done. Just so everyone knows what
to expect, my plan is to implement all of the deprecation parts while PyPI
legacy is still running and then use the final cut over to Warehouse as the
final step to actually remove it. This also means that Warehouse will be a
minimum of 3 months away in order to adhere to the timeline requirements in
this PEP.

I'll see about getting the immediate requirements done ASAP.
