[Distutils] Can't upload sdist: "File already exists"

[Nick Timkovich]

So upload the sdist first in the future? What's the difference between
uploading an sdist second with code that differs from what's in the wheel
and vice versa, is PyPI doing some checking?

Generally, is it OK (recommended/socially acceptable) to upload universal
wheels only or is the sdist still nice to have available? I guess maybe for
pip, but it considering universal, pure-Python wheels as "binaries" seems
quirky.
