[Distutils] RFC: PEP 541 - Package Index Name Retention

[Steve Dower]

Yep, this is what I chose to do for our packages like https://pypi.org/project/microsoft/ (updated since I first posted about it).

The intent of this PEP is to be able to clean up *unmaintained* packages, so if you have an "invalid" package but also a justification and you are reachable, I expect there should be no issues.

Yes, indeed, this is what I'd like to clarify. Someone is simply bound
to clean up all the packages at one point and this PEP likely will be
the basis for deciding what to delete or not so I'd very much like to
ensure ours will not be removed.
