[Distutils] Parked Names in PyPI under user rodmena

[Chris Barker]

Interesting.

Good evidence that the "first come first served, and then you get to keep
it forever" is not ideal.

As someone pointed out  in the other thread, we probably don't want to
change policy on existing packages, but maybe it would be good to get
*some* policy in place for when warehouse goes live.
