I’m just throwing ideas at the wall here, but would it not be possible to release two versions, one for those who choose to use decentralized packages with out-of-band releases and one with all “recommended” packages bundled (obvious potential for version conflicts and such aside)? If one of the prerequisites of a “recommended” package was that it’s released under PSFL, I’m assuming there wouldn’t be any legal issues with going down such a path? That way, you still get the ability to decentralize the library, but don’t alienate the user base that can’t rely on pip?
