That's distressing. For better or worse PyPI is the central
repository of 3rd party packages. It should be easy, desirable, fun
and socially encouraged to get your packages there.
I personally think a ratings system can be useful, but you should be
able to opt-out of it if you want. Or just write such awesome
software that the bogus bad reviews will be buried by an avalanche of
kudos.
