​Did you mean to write "provoke"​ instead of "prevent"? If we can learn one
thing from Twitter it's that such limit favors short and brutish comments
over the more nuanced and thoughtful ones - that take way more character
space of course.

I don't get what all this fuss is about about comments on PyPI. Such
feature seems unnecessary. There are plenty of ways to assess how well
maintained a package is. If a package maintainer wants comments or feedback
there's the url/long_description fields.
